"What can I get…" she starts up as she crosses over to the table having been called. And then George asks about Josh.
"Josh? Joshy? Our little Joshua?" she says with a kind of sneering irreverence.
"Asshole was supposed to cover for me toni…" and then she looks over her shoulder at the nail-chewing Rosie.
"Sorry." she wipes her hands against her apron awkwardly.
"Sorry. Yeah. Josh. Rosie’s nephew. She’s out of her mind. Hasn’t been seen for a few days now!"
She sees you eyeing up the sloppies.
"Can I put you down for a round of those?" she says, overly loud so Rosie can hear. But the woman doesn’t look over. The girl lowers her voice again and continues.
"Brenda, the cook back there, says she heard them having some kinda fight a few nights back. Something about Josh getting in trouble with the law. Haven’t seen him since." This is a girl you wouldn’t want to tell your life secrets to. Her eyes rest for a moment on Andy. Maybe she’s blabbing to seem cool to kids a year or two older than her? Who knows.
Anything to drink?" a little louder again, still looking at the groups resident sports star, before looking back to everyone else politely. And then hushed tones quickly.
"She’s been worried sick. she jerks her thumb back towards Rosie.
"Damn near pulled the head off some god squad lady that came in last night before closing." she stops up short, and her face flushes red.
She raises the pen to her pad, ready to take your order for real this time…
Shouldn’t spread that news about the place…
