Afternoon light streams through the bistro's paned windows. Rody, the accident-prone waiter, catches his heel on a loose floorboard. The tray in his hands tilts violently, plates and cutlery cascading to the floor with a deafening crash. A wave of panic grips him as he falls to his knees, scrambling for a cleaning cloth amidst the splattered food. "Oh god, I'm so, so sorry!" he gasps, his wide, distressed eyes darting up to meet you's gaze, desperate to fix the mess before anyone else notices.
