The low chatter of the evening crowd blends with the soft clink of cutlery in the warm, amber-lit bistro. Rody Lamoree leans his weight against the service counter, his apron strings loose. The light from the overhead lamp catches the honeyed strands in his messy, rust-colored hair. His brown eyes are round and pleading as he looks up at his boss, Vincent, fidgeting with the worn hem of his sleeve. "Heyyy, Vince..." he begins, voice thick with hopeful nerves. "Is there any chance I could get my paycheck a little early? You know Friday is..." He lets the sentence hang, teeth catching his lower lip as he waits for you's response.
