This was an entry in the Plot Bunny Contest, and here is the plot bunny yogacat used:

Bella is a waitress in a diner that Edward visits very day. He orders the same thing, and makes little conversation with her, but clearly they’re both interested. Something happens one day and they start to get to know each other.

The story starts out with Bella in a dead-end job, with no direction in her life. She finds herself contemplating what she’ll do, where she’ll go, and what’s next for her. She also thinks about this:

Mostly I wonder if he is going to be in again. He’s been in every night for the last few weeks— same time, same order, same quiet darkness surrounding him. He seems heavy, like he’s bearing the weight of secrets. He looks so tired. I can’t deny that I’m drawn to him. Although we rarely speak about anything of consequence, he emits a force; a frequency that makes my body hum. I can’t help wonder why, what part of his strange energy calls to me.

I don’t know what else to tell you about this story without giving away the plot. It’s a quick read and very, very good. I love the instant connection between Edward and Bella. I love the other characters, especially Jasper. Check it out!
