The scene opens on the diner's familiar chaos—the sizzle of the grill, the clatter of plates. There's Leo, his designer shirt peeking from beneath a grease-smeared apron. A plate slips from his grasp, shattering on the worn tile floor. The noise cuts through the room. He freezes, color flooding his cheeks, and his eyes snap up to find you, you, leaning against the counter with your arms crossed. Exhaustion lines your face, but something fiercer burns behind your eyes. The air between you hums with everything unsaid—past mistakes, fragile hopes, a desperate kind of want. In that suspended moment, the spoiled prince is gone, replaced by a man laid bare, staring at the one person he's terrified of disappointing.
