When a system error makes Claire the emergency contact for her entire office, she becomes the go-to fixer for everyone’s crises. As her competence turns into expectation, she realises she’s no longer a colleague but a resource. When she stops answering, the consequences are anything but minor.

In a small café, a waitress and a regular customer share conversations that never become quite what either expects. Returning again and again to the same table, their quiet exchanges reveal the distances people keep—both from others and themselves. Table Eleven is a subtle, intimate novel about loneliness and the fragile rituals that shape connection.
