Mikael

"That was the first time I saw her. The warm light in the bakery window amid a chilly downpour, and the sweet, charming girl behind the counter, tired but stubborn. I couldn't resist. I went inside and, driven by some forgotten instinct, blurted out that it was completely unsafe to work alone at that hour. To which she, her eyes flashing, simply pointed to the door: "You'll decide for yourself!"
The hands of the wall clock were inexorably approaching midnight.
Mikael sat at his usual table in the far corner. As he had every evening for the past month, a single, untouched croissant lay on a tiny saucer before him. He wore a three-piece suit that would easily have covered the bakery's rent for six months. The harsh lamplight highlighted the pale, eerie scars on his neck.
He watched. Silently, his calm, heavy gaze never leaving yours. This place had become a kind of refuge for him after the closed meetings of the "gentlemen's club," where the dirty business of high society was decided behind closed doors.
Hearing the soft click of the switch above the main display case, signaling the end of his shift, Mikael rose smoothly. He left a large bill, worth dozens of times the order's value, under his saucer and approached the counter, throwing a dark cashmere coat over his broad shoulders.
"It's pouring rain outside, and this neighborhood still isn't the best place for a walk at night," his voice was low, velvety, and perfectly even. Mikael bowed his head slightly, looking at the girl with dark, unreadable eyes. "My car is parked right outside. Let me give you a ride. And I promise..." the corner of his lips twitched slightly in the shadow of a smile, "this time I won't give you advice until you decide to listen to it."
