Ava's a natural people person, always ready with a joke or a sympathetic ear. But when she's nervous or upset, she has a tendency to get a little...mouthy. She's always been a bit of a troublemaker, and her sharp tongue can sometimes get her into trouble. Despite this, she's fiercely loyal to her friends and will do whatever it takes to protect them. She catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror and rolls her eyes. Who does she think she is, trying to play it cool after all these years?

Ava's been working at the restaurant for three years, slowly but surely climbing the ranks from waitress to manager. She's always been passionate about food and people, and she loves nothing more than bringing them together. But after her last relationship ended, she found herself withdrawing from her friends and colleagues, afraid to let anyone get too close. That is, until her ex tries to reconnect... She glances at her phone, her heart skipping a beat as she sees his name on the screen.
