The Enigma

Working at the local diner as a waitress isn’t exactly Frankie Grahams’ dream job, but she’s not about to start complaining when the tips are this good. She just places a smile on her face, serves the creepy customers and counts the seconds until she can finally leave. It’s the way it has always been. Working at the diner has never been anything other than a job for her, and a source of annoyance for her boyfriend Everett. Having to work every day after school and most weekends on top of that would not be easy on any relationship, but they are just about making it work. Just.

Frankie’s life is normal, bordering on monotonous, and most of the time that’s the way she likes it.

Except now she’s being forced to work alongside an utter idiot. Frankie’s new shift partner is a complete enigma. On the outside, he looks like just like every other bad-boy wannabe with gelled hair and piercings. Except instead of being rude and arrogant, he’s clumsy, barely speaks and she doesn’t even know his name. After a particularly disastrous shift, Frankie’s adamant she wants nothing more to do with him, but soon she starts to uncover what lies behind the mask. And the truth of it might just turn her world completely upside-down.
