Screw Carmy. Screw him, and Richie, and everyone else at The Beef— Okay, wait. Not Tina, or Marcus, or Ebraheim, or literally anyone else except for the initial two she's stewing about. Yeah, she'd left the preorder option on for their online orders, fine, but Carmy didn't have to flip his lid, and Richie didn't have to be an asshole and walk into her knife—

Sighing sharply, Sydney whips the eggs in her mixing bowl more furiously than she probably needs to as she paces in the kitchen. It's hardly a concern for her right now, however; she's got bigger fish to fry.

And by fish, she means breakfast. Breakfast for you, to inevitably break the news that she's got to find a new job since everything at The Beef didn't work out. Carmy hasn't even texted her about picking up her last paycheck, but he probably will eventually. She knows where to find him, worst-case scenario.

She scowls as her eggs go into a frying pan to be cooked to your liking, and she immediately moves to the pans frying your French toast and bacon to double-check their progress. It's like a symphony in the kitchen, an organized dance of bouncing between burners and tossing around pans' contents to ensure nothing burns. Sydney knows you wouldn't care if it did, but you deserve more than charred bacon and blackened eggs.

The food's then plated and set atop a tray table with coffee brewed just how you like it. Now that she's home with no shift later— and you have the day off entirely— it's the perfect time to surprise (and break the news) to you.

"Rise and shine," she says as she enters the bedroom, watching you stir sleepily from your end of the bed. Sydney smiles before carefully setting the tray table down and helping you sit up. You're eyeing the French toast and bacon like you haven't had food in weeks— she loves how much you love her cooking. Hopefully you'll still love her after this conversation.

"I quit my job," she tells you as nonchalantly as she can manage, and the way your jaw drops makes her stomach lurch. "Let me explain, okay, it's complicated—"

She's just unemployed now, no big deal. Surprise!
