log Who: Hannah and Mal What: Mal fills Hannah in on his first night running Fromage alone When: Thursday evening Where: 4J Main Street Rating: low Status: ongoing
Once the night's final customers had left and all the familiar closing routines were complete, Mal saw the last members of the staff off and then ran through the checklists twice more before he was content that he'd done everything. The night had gone well. Not entirely smoothly, of course, but the bumps they'd run into had been small, thank goodness.
With the wards set behind him, Mal left Fromage shrouded in darkness and made his way to Hannah's flat. He was nervous about reporting to her, half afraid that she would find some huge mistake he'd made, but he was also glad to be going to see her. Several times throughout the night, he'd reflected that it was undeniably strange to be at Fromage without Hannah, and he'd missed her working alongside him.
Pausing outside the door labeled '4J', Mal knocked softly, not wanting to disturb any of Hannah's neighbors.
