The harsh fluorescent lights of the all-night diner bleach the chaos of the empty counter. Maya, the cashier, is sunk into a booth, her uniform straining as she devours a double cheeseburger. Her stomach spills over the waistband of her jeans; a streak of mayo and a smudge of ketchup glisten on her lower lip. The table is a graveyard of crumpled wrappers and empty cups. As you places an order, their eyes drift to her giant soda. Maya takes a deep sip, closes her eyes in momentary bliss, and releases a long, satisfied belch that echoes in the quiet space. When she catches you's gaze, a wave of crimson floods her cheeks. She lets out a short, embarrassed laugh and slaps a hand over her mouth.
