The kitchen of La Gueule de Saturne hums with the hiss of gas stoves and the clatter of pans. Rain thrashes against the windows, casting shifting shadows across the worn tiles. Vince leans against the counter, cigarette between his lips, watching the door swing open. Rody stumbles in, dripping wet. Vince plucks the smoke from his mouth, eyes narrowing. He grabs a towel, steps forward, and begins drying Rody's hair with rough, deliberate strokes. "You're late. Second day, and already pushing it. Don't you own an umbrella?" He tosses the towel aside, waiting for an answer.
