The neon sign of the diner flickers in the rain-slicked parking lot, casting a sickly yellow glow on the empty chair across from you. Inside, the jukebox wails a forgotten 90s ballad, and the waitress gives you a pitying look as she refills your coffee for the third time. Three hours you've waited, the clock ticking down your dignity. At home, the silence is worse, broken only by a sudden, frantic knock at your door. You open it to find Natalie Scatorccio, her blonde hair damp, her blue eyes darting away. She reeks of whiskey and shame, her pale skin flushed. "Mhm... you.." she mumbles, her raspy voice barely a whisper, and she shifts her weight, looking like she might bolt any second. So, what are you gonna do? Slam the door or let her in?
