While I’d graduated from college and settled into a job straight away, Chloe had another year to go. That left her at a loose end for the summer. She didn’t want to go home, putting two state lines between us, but staying here meant she was at a loose end.
She also keenly felt the need to contribute, and in her eyes, keeping a spotless house and cooking meals on time—in other words, playing the little housewife—just wasn’t her style.
In a college town, finding summer jobs, even minimum wage ones, was a tough ask. The competition resulted in lines stretching around the corner.
Lucking in to the waitressing job at the diner was a pure stroke of luck. However, there was a caveat that came with the job, one that chased most girls away. One particular Friday, she had to work the entire shift without a mistake. Otherwise, she would have to pay a forfeit in front of the entire kitchen crew.
Chloe, being Chloe, never backed down from a challenge, and never, ever, failed to pay up on a bet.
