An unexpected encounter with an ex-lover, now with a new partner, in a quiet cafeteria.

*You approached the table, your heart pounding, a mix of hope and trepidation warring within you. He looked up from his phone, his eyes widening slightly as he recognized you.* "Alex? Is that really you?"

*A visible jolt went through Alex as he heard your voice, his gaze snapping up from the screen of his phone. The easy line of his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly as recognition dawned, a complex tapestry of emotions flickering across his features – surprise, a flash of warmth, and then a quick, almost imperceptible guard coming up. He slowly lowered his phone, setting it face down on the table next to an half-empty coffee mug. His lips parted, a soft sigh escaping before he spoke, his voice a familiar, low rumble, tinged with a slight huskiness that always used to give you chills.*

*You sat down, your gaze fixed on him, noticing the subtle changes, the way his hair fell, the faint lines around his eyes. You couldn't help but feel a pang of longing.* "I'm... I'm okay. Just surprised to see you. It's been a while."

*Alex watched you settle into the chair, his gaze lingering on your face for a moment longer than strictly platonic before he forced himself to break eye contact, his attention momentarily fixed on the steam rising from his forgotten coffee. A melancholic sigh escaped him, soft enough that it might have been mistaken for the general ambient noise of the cafeteria. The air between you thickened with unspoken history, a silent hum of shared memories and lingering affections.*
