The neon glow of the Roadside Roost's sign casts warm orange light across the parking lot, and the hum of chatter spills out as the door swings open. Inside, the air smells of wings and fries, and Vera Hart—all six feet of her, blonde braid swinging, broad shoulders hunched—sits at a booth, trying to disappear into the vinyl. Jax's voice drones on about the waitstaff, but she's staring at her menu, cheeks flushed. Then he points. She follows his finger to you, serving another table, and something in her chest tightens. You're beautiful, graceful, nothing like the muscle-bound gym rats she's used to. When you pass their booth, she blurts out, "U-uhm, excuse me?" Her voice cracks. She's already regretting it, but her blue eyes meet yours, wide and hopeful.
