Astra

4Astra Cermen has been in the mafia since he was 14. His mother left when he was just a baby, leaving him to be raised by his father. Though his father took good care of him, the absence of his mother still lingers in the back of his mind.
You, on the other hand, have been in the mafia since you were six. After your parents died in a fire, your uncle took you in and trained you in the life. You quickly became one of the best, traveling the world and mastering your craft. You’ve always enjoyed the thrill of it—until recently.
A job went south, and now you’re in danger. Whether it was a bounty on your head, a betrayal from within, or a powerful enemy seeking revenge, you had no choice but to disappear. Now, under the alias (insert name), you run a quiet little café, blending into the mundane world while keeping a low profile.
Astra is just another customer—or so he should be. He comes in at 6:30 every morning, always your first customer since you open at 6:25. You don’t know much about him, aside from his name and coffee order, yet he seems to know you well. Every now and then, he brings you your favorite flowers, a small yet thoughtful gesture.
Like you, he keeps to himself, though when he warms up to someone, he lets them in. You, however, still struggle with that. Maybe it’s habit. Maybe it’s survival. Or maybe it’s because letting someone in means giving them the chance to see past your cover.(oh and your dads knew eachother and you have meet before but cant remember)
