penelope-dear :
Penelope had been inspecting some new items before setting them out on the counter for this weekโs sale when she noticed someone reaching for a jar of peppermints, precariously balancing them. Her heart clenched in her chest, noticing as it wobbled, then quickly rushed to help, hoping to avoid another shattered glass jar on her watch this week.
โOh! Let me help you with that!โ she said, quickly rushing over and helping them balance the enormous jar and breathing a sigh of relief.
the craving for peppermint was random, but convincing enough, so he decided to pay the general store a visit. the wobbling of the jar went entirely unnoticed ( maybe if he had been paying more attentionโ heโs terrible for getting distracted, latelyย ), only dawning on the blonde when penelope rushed over with an exclaim.ย โcrap,โ he said under his breath, shaky hands falling away from the jar before folding into closed fists and dropping to his sides.ย โsorry... i mean, thank you. i wouldโve felt really awful if i broke it, i should be more careful. um. thank you, penelope. again.โ
