Grant City: The Blue Rose Cafe (Closed)
Deidra shuffled slowly from one table and booth to the next, swiping her cloth across them, picking up stray dishes and ashtrays missed by the busboys, her mind miles away. She has just toiled in the Blue Rose for twelve straight hours, and due to a brisk clientele, had little more than sit-down, spring-right-back-up breaks. Her feet ache, her back aches, and to make matters worse; the last couple in the place was lingering, sending adoring looks into one another's eyes as their hands slide up each others's legs, thinking she doesn't see. Deidre sighs and looks out of the big plate glass window behind the booth she is cleaning, thinking "Great! Now it's raining, and I have that walk to my apartment." She shakes her head and takes the collected items back to the kitshen, her crepe-soled heels barely making a sound on the gleaming tiled floor. She has fifteen minutes of this long day to endure before she can leave, and she watches the clock, willing it to move faster. As she is returning to the customer area, Deidre hears the tinny bells over the doors tinkle, signalling the entrace or exit of customers. She speeds her pace up, hoping to find the loving couple gone, her face falling as she spies a newcomer instead. A man is standing just inside the door, rainwater dripping from his coat, and Deidra puts on a smile, never rude to those who seek food or shelter or even just company inside the Blue Rose...
