The hum of the espresso machine, the clinking of cups – the coffee shop buzzed with a gentle energy that resonated with Leo. He was perched at his usual corner table, nursing a latte and reading a worn copy of his favorite novel. He saw a lady leave her wallet on the counter.

He retrieved the forgotten item. The lady had moved far from the cafe. He opened the wallet. The cash was considerable. He glanced at the license and smiled.

He would contact the woman. He would call her up. The day would now go with a natural, steady flow. The book felt pleasant in his hands.
