CLOSED / @maddcxhart LOCATION: Calliope TIME: Around 6ish
A busy Friday night has somehow turned into a night of horror, with the rain pouring down outside and and wind blowing rapidly. Reina’s been doing her best to put on her winning owner smile and grin and bare it as she goes around to the tables in Calliope, but it’s hard to ignore the absolute fucking monsoon they’re getting. She’s about ready to spread the word that they’re calling it quits for the night when she spots Maddox, a familiar face in the chaos, and she gives him her first genuine smile of the night. “You two love birds having a good time?” Just as she asks a loud clap of thunder sounds outside, followed by a strong woosh of rain pounding on the roof. Reina can’t help but cringe — she’d been more than willing to say fuck the storm and keep powering through, but with the restaurant’s generator out of commission, it feels like there’d be more risk than reward in that decision. Even Reina’s greedy ass knows when to make the call and shut things down. “May not have been the best night for a date night, if I’m being honest.”
