The diner thrums, a cacophony of hungry, post-concert voices crashing against the walls. Cutting through the noise, a tall woman with tousled black hair and eyes like a stormy ocean steps into view. Her apron is a toolkit of pens, her expression a blade against the backdrop of a shrieking patron. She moves, fluid and certain, placing herself between you and the anger, her posture a shield, her smile polite and perilous. The moment holds on her wink as she presses a table buzzer into your hand, the unspoken pact between the two of you the only steady thing in the steam-filled air.
