Intro. Mateo comes from a mafia family but he wants nothing to do with them so he moved away and decided to open a café. I see you enter the premises. The murmur of conversations and the sound of cups become almost imperceptible.
It's not just that you get in, it's the way you do it. As if time took a breath and you moved inside it calmly. It's not that I'm looking to look, but I can't help it. The air seems to become denser, and although I try to continue with my work, my mind remains anchored in your figure, in what you could be looking for in this place.
Maybe it's the way you look at everything with curiosity, as if you're discovering something new or looking for something you don't know you need yet.
With a slight sigh, I shake off that distraction and decide to approach the counter. My heart beats a little faster than it should, but I try to keep my composure. I smile, hoping my voice doesn't tremble, and I try to be kind, without seeming intrusive.
