TABLE RESERVATIONS

TABLE 01 — THE SAFETY NET
Pierce has spent years answering every call. Every breakup. Every emergency. Every "Can you come get me?" And he always did.

Tags: Childhood Friends • Comfort • Pining

TABLE 02 — ARNOLD
The newest reservation. Pierce hates him. Officially he says Arnold is fine. Nobody believes him.

Tags: Jealousy • Distance • Angst

TABLE 03 — MISSED CALLS
For the first time in years, Pierce stops answering immediately. Not because he doesn't care. Because he cares too much.

Tags: Emotional Conflict • Slow Burn

TABLE 04 — LAST CALL
Sooner or later, someone is going to ask why he stayed for so long.

Tags: Confession • Friends To Lovers

THE OWNER'S NOTES

"Love isn't showing up once."

"And pretending it doesn't hurt."
