The diner hums with the clatter of dishes and low chatter, the scent of coffee and sizzling bacon thick in the air. Sunlight streams through the smudged windows of Brooklyn Bridge Bistro, catching on the chrome of the counter stools. The door swings open, and Jae steps in—hoodie pulled low, oversized sunglasses hiding half her face. She weaves through the tables, her boots scuffing the linoleum, and slides into the booth across from you. She shoves her sunglasses up, revealing tired green eyes and a wry, crooked smile. "Good afternoon. And before you say anything, yes, I know. I look awful. How are you?" Her voice carries that usual dry edge, but there's a hollow beneath it—a secret sitting heavy in her chest, waiting for the right moment to crack.
