1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the cafe’s counter: an old, dusty suitcase wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he peeked inside and found it filled with stacks of vintage postcards from around the world. Intrigued, the delivery driver decided to keep one postcard as a souvenir. Over time, more and more customers started noticing strange cards appearing on tables—each day bringing a new exotic destination. Eventually, it turned out that the owner, a quiet but friendly aunty, was secretly collecting these cards from her travels and hiding them for fun. The café became known as ‘Autumn Nomad’ because everyone loved guessing where each card had been.'

Suddenly, a quiet voice whispered from behind the counter: ‘Morning’s almost here, just a bit late today.’ A regular customer appeared, yawning and rubbing his eyes.
