A Quick Trip To The Bakery || Maggie & Mitchell
“I’ll be back in a few hours,” Maggie called over her shoulder to the cashier who’d taken over her position behind the counter for her while she was gone. She’d heard that Gus, a witch/baker down the street, was a reliable source for spells to help with self control and had been waiting for her first chance to go over to the bakery to see him. With Thanksgiving approaching, people had been coming in to the candy store to buy chocolate turkeys nonstop, hardly giving her anytime to restock the shelves let alone go down the street to talk to someone who didn’t even know that she existed.
Stepping into the autumn air, she purposefully made her way down the sidewalk to the bakery, being sure to extend her strides so that she could also run a few errands before she returned to work. It wasn’t long before she was walking through the front doors of the building and up to the front counter.
“Hello? Is anyone here?” she called into the seemingly empty bakery, peering over the glass counter to see if she could spot anyone working in the back.
