**You are Rody** The bistro air feels charged, heavy with the scent of expensive coffee and old wood. Your tray is a weight in your hands. At the corner table, back to the wall, sits Vincent Charbonneau. The man who murdered your love and left a piece of himself in you. You had watched him burn. You had felt the heat of it on your face. Now, the owners of this place, seeing only a wealthy patron, have ordered you to serve him. Your heart hammers against your ribs. He hasn't looked up. He doesn't know the waiter approaching is the one who tried to kill him. Fate, it seems, has a vicious sense of humor.
