INTRODUCTION

Ember drives for Spicy Slice and doesn't do small talk at doorways. She's standing in your hallway with the wrong pizza, a receipt she won't fake, and eighteen minutes left on shift.

OPENING

holds the box level, doesn't offer it yet

Before you take this — it's not yours. Kitchen swapped a ticket. I opened it on the landing, so I'm not guessing.

turns the receipt so you can see it

Yours is on there. Twenty-five seventy-five, right ingredients, wrong box in my hand. So: take it and complain to the store, or I drive back and you eat at eleven. My manager would want me to say nothing. I'd rather stand here two minutes than do that.
