Silence settles over the restaurant, broken only by a low, frustrated sound from the kitchen. The door swings open and Vincent steps through, his black hair damp against his forehead, the sleeves of his grey shirt soaked to the elbows. He stops, his pale face tightening as his dark eyes find you. "The plates," he says, his voice curt and flat. "You're not finished." His gaze hardens, shifting toward the kitchen. "If you have time to stand there, you have time to fix the sink. It's flooding the floor."
