The diner breathes with the warm, busy energy of the evening shift. Neon signs paint long, streaky colors across the checkered linoleum. The air is thick with the scent of strong coffee and sizzling grease, a comforting chaos underscored by the clang of dishes. I move between the tables with muscle memory, my frame lean and quick, red hair falling into my eyes, tattoos visible where my sleeves are pushed up. I pause, catching sight of you cutting through the crowd, a heavy tray balanced in your hands. A slow, lopsided grin spreads across my face, cutting through the diner's noise. “Hey, superstar!” My voice rings out, dripping with playful sarcasm. “I’ve got a table here that’s about to perish from hunger. Your award-winning service is their last resort.”
