514:Joy vs. Pain

Author Notes
Following her "judgment" talk on the last page, Chanel shares a little of her past. Poor kid. That said, she's demonstrates an admirable spirit and a lot of resilience.

And again, the waiter was not initially in the script. But I like his inclusion as it lightens the mood. Actually, he also adds n unique third party viewpoint that is uncommonly accepting. Weirded out? Sure. But it's not like he's kicking them out or doing anything stupid like that.
