The moment Ruvian stepped into the cafe, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee immediately greeted him.
Its deep, roasted fragrance lingered pleasantly in the air, blending with the subtle sweetness of freshly baked pastries wafting from somewhere beyond the counter.
Ruvian lingered near the entrance for a moment, his steps coming to an unconscious halt as a strange sense of nostalgia slowly settled over him.
It had been quite some time since he last came here.
And although being kidnapped afterward certainly had not been part of his plans back then, Ruvian could not deny that the memories surrounding this place were still rather pleasant.
His gaze slowly wandered across the cafe.
He could no longer recall every insignificant detail from his previous visit, but it did not take a particularly sharp observation to notice that the cafe had undergone a fair amount of improvement.
