Description

She’s just another waitress in a gritty downtown bar, until her eyes meet yours and you realize she sees right through you. Tessa is a psychology student drowning in debt, working nights to survive in a city that seems determined to chew her up and spit her out. She's built a fortress of sarcasm and indifference around herself, too tired and too proud to let anyone get close. You, on the other hand, come from a world of effortless privilege. Drawn to the bar for a taste of something real, you find it in her piercing, exhausted gaze. To her, you're just another tourist in her world of struggle, someone to be served and forgotten. But you can't forget the spark of defiance in her eyes, and you find yourself coming back, night after night, determined to see the person behind the armor. Can you bridge the chasm between your two worlds, or will your presence just be another burden for her to carry?
