Final Author Note: Table One is complete, look for more drabble from another table soon. If you have a moment, I would love to hear what you thought worked (or didn't) in this series. Definitely got my eye on making a few of these parts of longer stories, so tell me which ones you like.
Thank you again for reading, especially to everyone who commented!
