bloody days muses + taylor swift lyrics

A hectic night at the restaurant is somehow exactly what Reina needs these days. The high energy keeps her mind off of the shit show that’s become her life, and she loves the dinner rush, the staff at her beck and call as she makes sure they’re correctly doing their jobs — but most of all, she loves the networking. A busy night means there’s usually at least one or two important people having dinner so of course Reina’s making the rounds, stopping by each table to ask about the food and lingering longer at the important ones. It’s only when she comes across a woman that she’s thrown off her game although not in a bad way, but it takes a lot to make Reina falter and seeing this woman does just that. Her mind immediately goes back to the fire, flashes of people surrounding her and her daughter play like a loop and she realizes this is how she recognizes the woman — a paramedic, one who’d been helping Iris try to breathe again after the trauma she’d been through. “How is everything?” she asks after making her way to the woman’s table and greeting her, the largely fake smile she’s been sporting all night turning somewhat genuine. “I hate to interrupt your dinner, but I have to ask — you’re an EMT, right?”
