All day, the city asks you to perform.
Profiles. Pitches. Star ratings on being a person.
Then, around sunset, the city stops asking.
On a quiet street, a door that doesn’t ask who you follow.
Inside, a table set for five.
A theme instead of an agenda. A candle instead of a stage.
Strangers, technically.
They arrive as people, not profiles. One honest line each — that’s all the table asks.
Somewhere around the second coffee, time stops being a thing.
“wait — you also quit without a plan?”
“I’ve never said this out loud before…”
“no no, finish the story first.”
“…and that’s when I knew I’d stay.”
9:12 pm.
Three hours, gone like minutes. Nobody pitched. Nobody swiped. Nobody performed. Nobody checked the time — except you, just now.
Tomorrow, another table.
tonight — Life & Transitions

The seat’s already yours.
A café table for up to five, somewhere in your city, around a theme worth a whole evening. Come curious. Leave with a conversation you can still feel later.
