chapter One: The Text Heard 'Round the Roast
It was 6:48 a.m. when Sophie Linwood committed social arson from the back of her coffee shop, crouched behind the counter next to the espresso machine, her thumbs flying across her phone screen like caffeinated hummingbirds. "We’re just not working out. You never listen, and frankly, I think I’ve fallen out of love with your Netflix password more than with you. Goodbye, Declan." She hit send. Except it wasn’t Declan Hughes’ name at the top of the message thread. It was some guy named Liam C. Sophie froze, eyes widening in slow horror. The name was unfamiliar, the contact vaguely saved under some cryptic note—"Architect coffee guy?" She had no idea who he was. “Holy roasted beans,” she whispered. Maya Patel strolled in from the back with two freshly baked muffins and stopped short. “Why do you look like you just burned down a romantic bridge with a flamethrower made of bad decisions?” “I sent the breakup text,” Sophie muttered. “But to the wrong guy.” Maya blinked. “Please tell me it wasn’t to that health inspector from last month.” “No. Worse. Someone named Liam C. I don’t even know who that is!” Before Maya could reply, the bell over the door jingled. A tall man in a tailored gray coat and warm eyes stepped inside. He scanned the shop like a man walking into a dream he didn’t quite believe was real. His phone buzzed. He looked down. Then up. Straight at Sophie. “Hi,” he said, voice amused. “I think you just broke up with me.” --- To be continued...
