Luke's, Wednesday

[vdistinctive]

Eliot was in the kitchen today, putting together some fresh pasta and trying to ignore how hard his employees were staring at him. It didn't take long before he got fed up.

"What."

The kitchen staff all exchanged looks. The dishwasher pushed the busboy to the front.

"Um," the busboy said, playing with the edge of his apron. "You, uh. You kind of haven't been in in a really long time."

Eliot straightened, glare fading into confusion. "What? It hasn't been that long."

"Well. There was the weekend you brought tiny!Kathy in?" the busboy said. "But -- yeah. It's been since like September."

Eliot frowned, counting back in his head. It couldn't have been -- crap. They were right.

"Yeah, well." His scowl came back and he turned back to his pasta. "I'm still your boss, so get back to work."

The busboy and the dishwasher scattered. The cook mimed wiping a tear from his eye. "It's just so nice to see you coming back out of your shell."

"I know, like, 114 different ways to kill you right now."

"So nice!"

The wait staff is much less impressed with Eliot's return.

You can ask what he's been up to since September, but he's not going to tell you.
