It takes Steven a few moments to realize he's being beckoned-- not because he doesn't see Emelie's wave, but because he's lost in thought, chewing at his lip as he mentally reviews the heaps of paperwork he still needs to finish before the end of the day. Once reality catches up with him, he blinks at Emelie and trots over with a lopsided smile.
"Well, hey! Didn't realize you'd be in today." He doesn't have to fake the warmth in his voice. Mr. Afton tends to set Bell on-edge, but Mrs. Afton is always a welcome face around the pizzeria.
