James visits after work

After the night begins to wind down you begin cleaning up the tavern and stacking chairs. The Bartender called last call an hour ago, but he left Melody and you to tidy up the place.

"How did you do?" Melody asks, wiping down the bar.

You pull out a couple handful of copper and silver coins. "Do you think this is enough?"

Melody silently counts them and shakes her head, "That's at least a third what you need."

"Shit. And I thought I got this flirty barmaid thing down."

You flick your hair and pout your lips, "Please, sir. Let me clean that up for you."

Melody laughs with you as you both continue cleaning up.

"You close up the back," she says, handing you two keys "This one is for your bedroom on the second floor. The master will be charging room and board till you pay him off completely."

"That's insane," you protest, "How am I supposed to pay my debt if I'm being charge more than I make?"

"Get better at flirting?" Melody proposes, "You could take a side job."

You grumble.

"Don't be like that. I lock up here if you lock up the back. If I don't see you have a good night."

Melody walks to the front door and as you get to the back you hear her heels hitting the steps upstairs. When you reach the door you hear a knocking.

Opening it you see James the bar patron from earlier. "Hey, there sweet ass," he says clearly drunk, "How about you and I get to know each other, Eliza?"

Realizing that not only did he forget your name, but you nearly forgot yourself.

"It's Isabel, James," you say, "And I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."

"Even if I make it your while," he says holding up a shiny gold coin. With that you could pay off you debt.
