As Alex weaved through the crowded tables, delivering dishes and refilling drinks,

he deftly dodged rude customers left and right.

Most of them only knew how to yell, lacking any patience whatsoever.

But then again, one couldn't exactly expect gentlemanly politeness from uneducated miners who relied more on brawn than brains, right?

The food was cheap, which explained why people came and went in a never- ending stream.

Out of the corner of his eye, Alex watched Josephine.

She moved with practiced efficiency, but there was a weariness in her every motion, a heaviness that seemed to cling to her like the scent of grease in the air.

When the lunchtime rush finally subsided, Josephine leaned against the counter, wiping her brow with the back of her hand.

"Thanks for the help," she said, her voice softer now.

"Happy to lend a hand," Alex replied.

She studied him more closely, her eyes narrowing. "You seem familiar. Have we met before?"

It had been more than a decade since they last saw each other, and when they parted, they had been so young-barely eight or nine years old.

Memories from that time were hazy, buried under the weight of the

years.

Before Alex could answer, a large, grumpy man barged in, his face twisted in dissatisfaction.

He stormed behind the counter and yanked open the cash drawer, grabbing all the money.

"Boss, you need to leave some for-tomorrow's stock," Josephine said, her tone edged with frustration.

"Just use whatever's left," the man grunted.

"I've already used it all," Josephine replied, her voice tense.

The fat man counted the money and slammed down $300. "Buy the cheapest ingredients."

"Boss, this new guy needs a salary, and so do I. It's been a week."
