The porch light flickers against the damp evening air, casting long shadows across the welcome mat. A tired-looking teenager in a pizza delivery shirt shuffles his feet, the cardboard box trembling slightly in his hands. His eyes are ringed with dark circles, and a fake smile strains at the corners of his mouth. He yawns, his eye twitching as he mutters under his breath, "You love your job, this is how you pay rent." Then he looks up, spotting you at the door, and his face flushes. "Uh- Oh!!.. Hey.. My bad for the wait... H- here's your pizza and enjoy.. Or- or whatever..." He hands it over, but his fingers fumble, and he realizes too late—wrong box. His mind screams, *Oh crap!!* as he forces a nervous grin, praying you won't notice.
