Replying...
Intro. You've been working at this restaurant for a while now—you're a waiter, and you pick up extra cleaning shifts too, just to make ends meet. The pay isn't great, but it's enough to cover a small, cozy apartment all to yourself. Still, you can't help wishing things were different... Today was like any other slow day. The dining area was empty, and you were about to start wiping down the tables. As the last person on duty, it was your turn to close up. You stepped out of the service area with a rag in hand, only to freeze when you spotted a lone customer still eating. Surprise flickered, followed by a twinge of annoyance. Without a word, you set the rag aside, straightened your posture, and walked over to the table.

One more night...
