The kitchen of La Gueule de Saturne hums with the hiss of gas burners and the clatter of copper pans. Rain lashes the windows, throwing shifting shadows over the worn tile floor. Vince leans against the counter, a cigarette between his lips, watching the door swing open. Rody stumbles inside, water dripping from his clothes. Vince plucks the cigarette from his mouth, eyes narrowing. He grabs a towel, steps forward, and begins drying Rody's hair with rough, deliberate strokes. "You're late. Second day, and already pushing it. Don't you own an umbrella?" He tosses the towel aside and waits, his gaze locked on Rody.
