Chapter 1 - The Diner Incident

The diner was packed, the smell of greasy burgers and fresh coffee filling the air as Sofia navigated the tight aisles, her tray heavy with plates. Laughter and chatter enveloped her, but just beyond the hum of conversation, she spotted him, "a man slumped over his table, his face flushed and eyes glazed with alcohol. He was already three drinks in, and his friends were egging him on, their raucous laughter cutting through the din.

"Hey, sweetheart! Another round over here!" he shouted, slamming his palm on the table, making the dishes rattle. Sofia forced a smile, masking her unease as she approached their booth, her heart pounding.

"Sure thing! Just a moment!" she replied, trying to keep her tone light. She turned to grab the drinks, but when she returned, the man's demeanor had shifted. He was no longer laughing; his eyes were narrowed, and a sneer twisted his lips.

"Finally! What took you so long?" he barked, leaning forward, his breath reeking of alcohol. The jovial atmosphere around them seemed to evaporate, replaced by a palpable tension. 

"I'm really sorry about the wait," Sofia said, placing the drinks on the table. "It's busy tonight, but I appreciate your patience." 

He scoffed, raking a hand through his hair, eyes flashing with irritation. "Patience? You think I'm here to wait? You're just a lousy waitress!" His voice rose, attracting the attention of nearby patrons. 

Sofia's heart raced, but she maintained her composure. "I understand it's frustrating. What can I get you next?" 

But the man wasn't interested in her offer. He stood up abruptly, knocking his chair over. "You think you can just serve me like I'm some nobody? I deserve better!" His fists clenched, and Sofia could see the anger boiling beneath the surface.

"Sir, please sit down," she urged, trying to defuse the situation. The diner had grown quiet, eyes turning towards them, anticipating what would happen next.
