@amity-and-enmityâ | title; it couldâve happened to anyone (Adam & Amber) | cont. from here
   âWell, the table is something I can help with, soââ But Adam cut himself off when she tore the napkins from his hand. Blinking a couple of times at the brusqueness, he dismissed it and grabbed for more. Of course she was mad, anyone would be with this disaster. Most of the mess had sopped up by now, but she was right about the skirtâit was, without a doubt, ruined. He offered her the rest of the napkins heâd grabbed and took a step back. His eyes went back to the broken table leg, then craned his head to search for an employee, manager, someone he might be able to flag down.
     He found oneâa girl who looked alarmed at the commotion. She also hurried with a towel, muttering apologies as she tried to further clean up the mess. âThe table legâs broken. I think the cafĂŠ is responsible for maintaining it, so that makes your manager responsible for the spilled drink and the damages. To her skirt.â
     The girl stared, wide-eyed and uncertain. âIâll uh Iâll go ask him what we can do,â she said, then turned to the victim of this disaster. âIâm so sorry.â Then she rushed away.
     Adam sighed and shook his head. His smile came two seconds later, tight and humorless. âSorry,â he said, though he had nothing to be sorry about; it just seemed the thing to say. âI thought Iâd lend a hand.â He took one of the napkins and used it wipe some of the wetness off his fingers. âItâs been one of those days.â
