It was exactly noon, and the last of the weekend breakfast crowd filtered out of the diner.
From the booth-lined back wall, a young woman made her way to the front to pay her check.
She was tall, with reddish-brown hair to her shoulders.
She had a tattoo on her left wrist, a delicately etched silver-and-green double-headed axe.
All around her, the busboys and waitresses kept moving, the dishes clattering on the large trays.
"'Lupe!'
a voice called from behind her.
She turned around, then frowned.
Standing next to her was a dark, stocky young man, a few black hairs poking sharply out of his chin.
He smiled sheepishly.
He carried a tray of improbably balanced plates and glasses.
Hello, Raul, she said, resigned to his recognition.
I didn't realize you worked here.
Yes, he said, his English too formal, crackling with Spanish underneath.
He glanced at the axe on her wrist.
Pedro got a job here, then he brought me.
I've been here a few months already, so I should be a waiter soon.
My English is much better now, don't you think, he asked.
The dishes on the tray rattled as he struggled to keep them from crashing to the floor.
''Yes,'' she said, starting at the door of the diner.
