Every morning at 8:03 a.m., billionaire Joss Blackwell walks into Hazelnut Corner, orders a black coffee, and sits by the window, scrolling through his phone in silence. He never stays more than fifteen minutes. He never talks more than necessary.
And yet, for the past year, he's always come back.
Barista Gawin Morales never asks questions, never flirts, and never pries. He just serves Joss his drink with a warm smile, adds a quiet "Have a good day," and continues making drinks for others.
As their small, calm worlds begin to gently overlap, what starts with a daily cup turns into shared silences, soft confessions, and slow-burning tension that builds like steam in a kettle.
Two quiet hearts. One cup at a time.
