It was quiet when Bella arrived at the diner - graveyard shifts tended to be - which meant she spotted the other even before ducking into the back to change into her uniform. She'd started picking up shifts at the 24-hour diner a few weeks ago, able to come and go during the night without getting burnt, and was enjoying the Americana feel of decades past that lingered there.
It hadn't taken long for Bella to take note of the man who came in again and again, and then for her to strike up a sort of camaraderie with the other.
"Can I top you up?" British accent faint now, the blonde approaches his table with coffee pot in hand, propping her hip against the back of the opposite booth chair. "You look like you're working awfully hard. Again."
