burning time to go to chipotle
as reply to A Call
Max Lambert hated eating at the diner after his shift. After sizzling bacon, frying toast, and wiping sweat dripping off his forehead so it didn't get into the customers' hash, the last thing he wanted at 7PM was to spend another minute at the diner. Even if the meal was...
