<p>"Yeah, I mentioned it on his review."</p>
|
||||
<p>The vixen nodded.</p>
|
||||
<p>"It just made the rest of my shift feel extra long, is all. Every time I'd go to accept a ride, I'd get nervous. I drove to the other side of town just to be sure he wouldn't request another from me."</p>
|
||||
<p>"And did he rate you well?"</p>
|
||||
<p>Winter winced. "No. He complained that I was unfriendly, and I got a note from the system about unacceptable behavior."</p>
|
||||
<p>Katrin reached out a hand to tug one of Winter's over for a squeeze. "I'm sorry, love."</p>
|
||||
<p>Winter returned that squeeze of the fingers distractedly. She couldn't drop the topic, though. Not now. Not after the dam had burst. "It's just so humiliating. I can't keep myself safe or I risk their ire. I can't look for jobs that pay well because I know they'll just recall the tip after and I'll be out a bunch of cash."</p>
|
||||
<p>"It's been a month," Katrin said once the flare of anger died out. "Do you think you might look for something more traditional job again?"</p>
|
||||
<p>"If anyone's even fucking hiring," the lynx growled.</p>
|
||||
<p>"It's still worth looking, perhaps."</p>
|
||||
<p>Winter bit her tongue to stay silent. It must have been evident to the fox, whose frown deepened.</p>
|
||||
<p>"Winter, you know that I love you and won't push too hard, but this is not healthy. You have been having 'long day' after 'long day' for the last few weeks. I'm glad you can get paid for stuff like this, but I don't know if it's worth it long term, at this rate."</p>
|
||||
<p>"You're right, Katrin," she said after a long, deliberate pause. "No, you're right. I'll finish these and then start searching again."</p>
|
||||
<p>As expected, referencing the food immediately drew the fox's attention away from the problem at hand. "Do you like them?"</p>
|
||||
<p>"A bit salty. Maybe more lemon?"</p>
|
||||
<p>Katrin smiled ruefully. "The salt is high, yes. I think you're just a sourpuss, though."</p>
|
||||
<p>Winter swatted at her wife and laughed. It had been a calculated gesture, getting her to talk food, but one that she knew would work well for both of them.</p>
