    Summary

    “Hi, Rumi. Would you like your usual?”

    Mira doesn’t wait for Rumi to reach the counter before she’s already hip-checking for Jamie to take over the till. Her embarrassing eagerness is worth the small giggle escaping Rumi’s mouth, whose smile splits her lips and digs dimples in her cheek.

    Mira has never known love could be so beautiful.

    “One latte with oatmilk for you.”

    “Thanks again, Mira!” Every day, Rumi comes in and orders the exact same thing. “I was stuck on the bus for hours, you have no idea how much I need this.” She doesn’t know I can see her move at the speed of sound.

    Mira smiles, her own grief muted behind her gold-framed spectacles.

    “No problem.”

    How could she?

    She thinks she’s the only Kryptonian left in the universe.

    13 YEARS AGO, an extraterrestrial teen was sent in a spacecraft to Earth, and adopted by a pair of Jeju divers.

    (13 YEARS AGO, Krypton died, and Mira lost the love of her life.)
