the story.)
Very telling flashback. We learn this occurred in Hollywood, thus LA, and thus back when she was working for Al between age 16 and 19. Sera has this memory given how she just treated Stephen at the blackjack table, humiliating him, and feeling bad for it, and then remembering this humiliation she enacted on a trick. Either could have turned bad but neither did.
Note in the very short scene the POV flips back and forth between Sera and the trick. There is no issue with this as a ready so the author is very good at this 3'rd person omnicient POV.
Lastly, she is lonely and has no one to tell her story too. But anyone wouldn't be enough; instead she needs someone who would LISTEN. This forshadows her finding Ben, who does both for her.
