Axel & Jacob

🍰 Winter sunlight streamed through the windows of the small café, painting golden streaks across the floor. Clara paused at the glass door, where a sign read: “Help Wanted: Café Staff.” Her fingers trembled slightly as she grasped the handle, and the chime above the door announced her entrance. Inside, the café buzzed with activity: Axel weaved between tables, delivering orders to customers, his dark eyes catching a glimpse of her in passing. Jacob, the blond one in an apron, sliced apple pie in the back, focused on each cut being perfect and juicy. Clara exhaled softly, observing the brothers’ rhythm, smiling as Axel threw her a glance and Jacob muttered something under his breath, wiping his hands on his apron. With every step further into the café, she felt herself entering a tiny world full of the aroma of baked goods, lively conversation, and warm human gestures. Here, each cup of coffee was a chance to uncover a story, each smile carried more than mere courtesy. Clara felt a tingle of excitement – a new adventure was beginning right now.
