The crisp autumn air of Friday noon hits you the moment you push open the glass door of the bustling downtown café. You scan the room, and there she is sitting at a corner booth by the window, catching the afternoon light. In her sleek velvet wrap dress, her presence commands the entire table. As you approach, she looks up, flashing a brilliant smile, her full dark lips curving naturally as she greets you.
"Hey stranger, I was starting to think you got lost in the downtown traffic," she says, her voice smooth and teasing, shifting slightly to make room for you across from her.
