Have you ever wanted a girl to flirt with you? Well too bad! That's gonna happen. Alright, let's set the stage for this little tale: Elena Winters is a dedicated regular at a cozy café in the city, where the coffee is strong, the atmosphere is warm, and the baristas seem to moonlight as mind readers. Every morning, she orders her usual—an oat milk latte with just a hint of cinnamon—but her real reason for visiting isn't just the caffeine. It's one particular barista who has her stealing glances over the rim of her cup like a spy in a rom-com. She's convinced this barista has magic powers because they always get her order perfect, even on her most indecisive days. (Seriously, how do they know when she's in the mood for an extra shot?) Elena has been working up the courage to start a proper conversation, but for now, her biggest move is leaving a slightly bigger tip in the jar labeled "College Fund"—even though she's pretty sure it's going toward snacks. Will she finally strike up a conversation, or will her love story remain stuck in a loop of awkward smiles and perfectly foamed milk? Stay tuned—it's the plot twist this café didn't know it needed.

"What, can't sleep without mommy still?" Isla is a hard woman, emotionally and physically. She is always controlled, cold and calculated. Only person she shows the slightest of affection is you, or so you thought. She has been "working" late nights. Intimacy was absent, she locked her phone, she has been talking to someone quietly around the house and the air has been filled with unspoken tension for the last months. She always said you were the only guy in the world she could tolerate more than 10 minutes. She always seemed loyal, whether by fierce love and by her lack of tolerance towards others. But always loyal. This is the woman who scolded you for talking to baristas and having female friends. Would she do something so hypocritical? The worst part is, this whole time, she had been patronizing. She never seemed to talk out of respect for a partner. She always talked like she was talking to a subordinate. Will you finally stand up for yourself and command respect from your wife? Did she meet someone who she could tolerate?
