The girl stood there watching her own hand. The words were heavy, she didn't know how to explain... she didn't know if she could explain. Nith had been sweeping the floor when she noticed the silhouette of the man in the distance. He was not of great height, but his muscles were to be admired. Although that might be what caught some people's eyes at first glance, there was something about his posture that she could recognize, something in his eyes... Loneliness? Sadness?
She didn't understand it herself... It was easy to ignore him and continue working, it was easier to pretend she hadn't seen him.
Is that how others felt when they saw her?
Then, she put down her broom and took a piece of cake from the display case without permission. Most people loved the chocolate one, though of course she hated it.
"It's on me. But next time you must tip me well..." -she joked, reinforcing it with a slight smile.
"Don't worry, I'll settle for the smile I just saw. That will be my payment."
