[ WP ] You can see the age of anyone you 're attracted to floating above their head holographic numbers

It was blistering hot outside. I had plans to go for a ride over the mountain pass on my new motorcycle but was defeated when I began sweating through my protective gear. I rolled into the parking lot of the cafe and decided a frozen drink would lift my spirits. 
 
 I placed my helmet on the counter and retrieved my money, ordering some silly frozen thing. It was a treat, I was often teased about it but I really enjoyed the smoothie texture and generous whipped cream on the top. 
 
 When I took my seat after receiving my drink I was finally able to relax. I stretched my legs and placed my bag across the table from me. I would pull out my journal later for sure, yet at the moment I was more interested in enjoying the beverage than writing down my thoughts. 
 
 So many people here were young. I could see it in their faces. If they were my type, my attraction would reveal their ages. Every time they were too young. The girl across the cafe with the dark glasses and face buried in her computer: 22. The woman uncommonly reading a paperback on the sofa near the back: 36. There were other ages, too, but I was not interested in any of them. 
 
 My eyes flickered over the men and women having dates, conversations, or just enjoying a beverage to themselves. When I finally saw her my mind went blank and I stabbed my cheek with my straw. Her age popped up above her head and my heart skipped a beat. 
 
 She sported elegant wavy hair that tumbled past her shoulders. Her eyes were sharp, skin flawless. Her full lips carried a hint of red gloss that accented her pale skin beautifully. She looked mid-30s, but I was in awe. Her beauty was one that I had not seen in many years. I looked above her head, my eyes locked on the hologram: 834. 
 
 I stood, pushed my seat in and grabbed my things before making my way to her table. She looked up from a sketchbook - she was very talented. All of those years sure added to her skill set. 
 
 `` Sorry to bother you.'' I said, she gave a curious smile. `` Is this seat taken?'' I asked, gesturing toward the empty seat. She pulled free her headphones and shook her head, her smile growing. She glanced above my head and I smiled as her eyebrows rose high in disbelief. 
 
 I reached out a hand. `` My name is Sam, tell me about yourself.''
