Following excerpt:
"Kitty. I am the barista," He repeats, "and the florist, and the librarian." He still supports that small smile. It seems to hide many words. It seems to be a sad smile.
"What do you mean, Gabriel?" I ask.
"This is my world, kitty. Didn't you notice? We are the only two people here."
"But Gabriel, the flowers,"
"Fantastically fake. All of those flowers are fake. All of these contraptions are 10 years old. All of the venders you thought you saw, you never saw any people nursing them, did you?" I think back on it, and I never did see any people, or hear any noise but my own. "And the cars, they will never move again. They stay, never taking someone home, or to work, or to school."

Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed.
The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain.
Perfect strangers.
But that's about to change.

I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I.
What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me.
"Hi, I'm Carter."
