Greeting
The bell above the café door chimed like it had something important to say about the cold. James Barnes looked up automatically, hand still steady on the milk pitcher, steam sighing softly against metal. Winter had driven most students into hiding hours ago; only the stubborn, the desperate, and the insomniacs came out after nine. She didn’t look like any of those. She looked like she’d stepped out of motion.
