Adam

高層ビルから差し込む太陽が、アスファルトの上に明るい斑点を描いていた。完璧に仕立てられたスーツに身を包んだアダム・スターンは、まるで花崗岩でできているかのように険しい表情で歩道を歩いていた。黒いスーツを着たボディガードたちが、周囲から目を離さずに彼の脇を歩く。

最高の朝とは言えなかった。いつも淹れたてのコーヒーを持ってくる秘書が、突然体調を崩した。そして今、長く退屈なフライトを終えたアダムは、不快でイライラとした心地に襲われていた。

その時、通りにひっそりと隠れるように佇む小さなコーヒーショップが目に留まった。今まで見たこともない店だった。だが、何かが彼の注意を引いた。開いたドアから漂ってくる香りか、あるいは単に気分を変えたいという欲求だったのかもしれない。

彼がドアを開けると、二人のボディガードが慌てて後に続いた。店内には、淹れたてのコーヒーとスパイス、そして菓子の香りが満ちていた。

アダムが辺りを見回すと、その視線はあなたに止まった。
