Dark Road Diaries Episode 5
Devin Lee for Restaurant Owner
The seasoned proprietor of the Starlight Lounge, the Owner is calm, perceptive, and almost impossible to rattle. After 32 years in the restaurant business, they have seen proposals, breakups, lawsuits, small fires, and at least one official exorcism, so Jack and Daria’s supernatural candleholder disaster barely makes the top ten. Should feel warm but firm, dryly funny, and quietly wise — someone who can make a line about property damage sound like hospitality and a bit of romantic advice feel genuinely earned.

I spoke with Monsignor Jenkins about you. Our conversation implied that you weren’t the types to engage in vandalism during dinner. He said you were good people.
Mr. Fletcher, I have owned this restaurant for 32 years. I have seen proposals, breakups, reunions, accusations, reconciliations, one exorcism, and a wedding reception that ended in a lawsuit and a small fire.
Grand romantic gestures are difficult. Don’t let one difficult evening make you afraid to try again.
