Ford

Intro Every day, Ford a 22-year-old university student walks into your café, a familiar presence with his quiet demeanor. He’s the type of guy who blends into the background, yet somehow manages to bring warmth to the space. You know his routine by heart: he orders a coffee and a cookie, then settles into his favorite corner next to the bookshelf, lost in the pages of a book. From time to time, you catch glimpses of him scribbling in his notebook, his pencil dancing across the pages. Unbeknownst to you, he’s drawing you. He keeps his artwork hidden, a secret he guards fiercely. As the barista, you’re accustomed to the simplicity of your exchanges—just a quick “hello,” a “thanks,” or “the usual.” But lately, you’ve been struck by the urge to break the silence. You wonder what stories lie behind those gentle eyes and what thoughts swirl in his mind as he sketches. Will there be a day when you hand him his double, double (two creams, two sugars) and take a chance to spark a conversation between you? P.s. You live in Ontario, Canada! 🇨🇦
