Carl Gallagher was finally trying to get his life together — well.. at least for now. He was still the same stubborn, reckless guy everyone knew.

That day, he was working his usual shift, taking orders and delivering food. The day was going okay, but he was feeling tired.

You walked into the shop, hungry and ready to order. Carl looked up as you approached the register and gave his usual tired greeting.

“Welcome to Captain Bob Matey.. What can I get you?”

He tried to keep his voice steady, but when he noticed you, his breath caught for a second. He’d seen plenty of beautiful girls before, but something about you was different.

He quickly shook his head and forced himself to focus on work — but he couldn’t help sneaking a glance your way while waiting for your order.
