DO YOU BELIEVE IN

“I’m flattered by your optimistic opinion of the situation, Xal, but we are not ‘fine.’” Verethel replied, chuckling. “You’ve probably noticed, but I’m not as capable of doing my job as I used to be. I’m getting old. We could use another set of hands around here.” Verethel then tossed the keys abruptly at his redheaded son.

“I can pick up the extra work!” Xaldaan shot back, indignantly, catching the keys as if by second nature, a few charms clanging together, metal on metal.

Verethel whirled and glared at Xaldaan. “Have you ever considered the fact that maybe I don’t want you to?” Verethel asked wearily, his expression softening. “Xaldaan, I love you and your sister dearly. But this store was MY dream, as were the two of you. I never wanted to force this store on either of you when I eventually got too old to run it correctly. That’s why I let Tsari go when you got old enough to help me. If running the store is what you want when the time comes, that’s fine by me. But only if you’re 100% certain that you don’t want anything else. I want you to be able to chase the dreams that I didn’t when I was young and foolish, and you can’t do that if you’re stuck here with me and the usual crowd.”

“But, Dad. You had a WONDERFUL life. You got to pursue your causes, fight for people who couldn’t fight for themselves, and you were the best dad that Tsari and I could have asked for growing up...” Xaldaan said quietly and tenderly.

“You are right about one thing: I have had a wonderful life for several reasons. But if you think I don’t have any regrets that is shortsighted of you.” Verethel sighed. “I’m an old man who’s lived a long and full life. Very few old men have no regrets. But I’d like for you to be able to say that you had no regrets when that time comes.”

Xal stared at his father inquisitively. But Verethel’s weary, sad face quickly became a smile again.

“Now, no more arguing. We’re hiring some help, so stop trying to convince me otherwise.” Verethel chuckled before heading to the window and turning the ‘closed’ sign to ‘open’. A new day had begun.

In the time it took Verethel to sit with his tea, and for Xaldaan to feed the store’s mouser, an orange tabby named Ser-Eats-A-Lot, the door creaked open and the chime rang. the first face of the day.

“Umm… excuse me… Mr. Verethel?” a quiet, feminine voice questioned. “I’m here about the open position?”

Verethel and Xaldaan turned to look at her, and there before them stood a small, thin woman with light blonde hair and bright eyes. She had a sweet look about her, and her expression hinted at eagerness.

“Ah yes, welcome!” Verethel laughed kindly, extending his arm to shake her hand. “I am Verethel, and this is my store. And you are?”

“Levya… Levya Hart…” she replied softly, reaching out to take his hand and shake it as firmly as her nerves would allow. “And… I hope you don’t take this the wrong way… but I knew who you were and I’m quite familiar with your store!”

“Ahhh yes…” Verethel gasped, the cogs in his head were turning. “I thought I recognized you. You were a student, were you not? You haven’t been around much lately. Have a seat!” He pulled out a chair for her and sat on his stool on the other side of the counter, taking a sip of his tea, steam billowing out of the mug.

“No, and it’s a shame too. I loved this store so much. But since I graduated and have been looking for jobs, I haven’t had as much time to come around.” Levya replied meekly.

“What did you go to school for?” Verethel asked.

“Mostly art. I actually hope to be able to illustrate children’s books someday. But there isn’t a whole lot of work out there for someone with a portfolio as thin as mine…” Levya babbled.

“Oh nonsense. You just have to find the right opportunity! And I’m sure your work is lovely.” Verethel grinned, his eyes shining with a youthful fire.

“Oh… thank you, sir.” Levya replied with a blush.

Ser-Eats-A-Lot padded from behind a bookcase, eyeing the new figure with great green eyes.

“No need to be so formal. If you’re going to be working here, I expect you to call me Verethel. I’m not worthy of that much respect.” Verethel chuckled with a cough. “Xal, do you have any objections?”

Xal sighed. “I’m still not entirely sure we need the help, but it is your decision and she seems nice.”

The ginger cat had moved from his niche behind the shelf to Levya’s ankle, rubbing his face affectionately on her shoe and purring.

Verethel shot him another glare and shook his head before turning back to Levya with a smile on his face. “Very well then! When can you start?”

“Seriously? You mean it?” Levya squeaked, her face getting redder.

“Of course! When can you start?” Verethel confirmed.

“Tomorrow! Definitely! Thank you so much, sir… I mean,  Verethel! I hope you won’t regret this!” Levya twittered excitedly, crouching for a moment to give the cat a scratch behind the ears.

“Very well! We shall see you tomorrow, my dear! We can discuss your compensation and schedule first thing in the morning! Be here by 8:45 sharp!” Verethel instructed.

“Wonderful! Again, thank you so much, Verethel!” Levya responded, shaking his hand and then turning to Xaldaan. “And it was nice to meet you…?”

“Xaldaan. Welcome to the business, Levya. And the cat likes you, you’re obviously a keeper.” Xal replied with a smile of his own.

Levya shook his hand and nodded eagerly before rushing out of the store frantically.

“She seems lovely. I hope you won’t be so rude in the future, my boy.” Verethel sighed, side-eyeing Xal.

“Don’t worry, Dad. She does seem really nice and I look forward to working with her.” Xal answered reassuringly. “Looks like things won’t really be the same around here anymore.”

Verethel’s youthful gaze returned to his son, “Are you suggesting things were boring here until now?”
