His gaze moved over me, mud, bruised knees, hollow eyes. “Name?”
“Celeste,” I whispered.
“You got experience?”
“No,” I said quickly, before he could ask more. “But I learn fast. I’ll do anything. Please. Just a cot. Just a night.”
He leaned back in his chair, studying me. The silence stretched, broken only by the muffled thud of music from the other room.
Finally, he said, “We’re short of a waitress, you'll work alongside Elyse, no tips, no mistakes. You stay in the storeroom out back. It smells like beer and rats. That’s all I can offer.”
