Scene: A quaint coffee shop on a rainy afternoon

The camera pans across the cozy interior of the coffee shop, where soft piano music plays in the background. Patrons are scattered at various tables, chatting quietly or working on laptops. The warm lighting and the sound of rain tapping against the windows create an intimate atmosphere.

Cut to: A corner table

A young woman, Clara, is seated alone, reading a book and sipping a steaming cup of coffee. She occasionally glances at the door, as if waiting for someone.

Cut to: The entrance

The door opens, and a tall, handsome man, Ethan, walks in, shaking the rain from his umbrella. He scans the room, his eyes landing on Clara. A small, nervous smile appears on his face as he makes his way to her table.

Clara:(looking up, smiling) Ethan?

Ethan:(smiling back) Clara. It’s nice to finally meet you in person.

They both stand awkwardly for a moment, then laugh, breaking the tension. Ethan pulls out a chair and sits down.

Clara:I’m glad you could make it, despite the weather.

Ethan:(nodding) I wouldn’t miss it for the world. How’s your coffee?

Clara:(grinning) It’s good, but it just got better now that you’re here.

Ethan blushes slightly and looks at Clara, their eyes locking for a moment longer than usual. They both smile, feeling the spark of a new connection.

Cut to: A montage of their conversation

The camera captures snippets of their animated conversation, laughter, and shared smiles. Ethan reaches across the table, brushing a strand of hair from Clara’s face. She blushes and looks down shyly, then back up into his eyes.

Fade out:

The scene fades as the rain continues to fall outside, but inside the coffee shop, the beginning of something special is clearly taking root.
