Santa didn't expect much from life-just enough to get through his final year, keep his small apartment, and survive the long hours at the café. Love was the last thing on his mind. Perth wasn't looking for it either. At 28, his world was steady and quiet-work, home, and the soft comfort of his two cats waiting for him at the end of the day. But sometimes, love doesn't ask. It finds you in small moments-shared glances over coffee, conversations that last a little longer than they should, the warmth of someone who begins to feel like home. What starts as something accidental slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore. Despite the years between them, despite the lives they've built apart, they find themselves drawn closer in ways that feel both new and undeniable. Maybe it wasn't supposed to happen. But maybe... it was always meant to.
