The mistletoe might look fresh to the unschooled eye, but Edgar wasn’t as easily fooled. The leaves felt just a little too limb under his fingertips, some of them drooping ever so slightly. Nothing one couldn’t fix with a little water but still, not the quality he was looking for. 

Mindful of the narrow isles in the small shop he carefully manoeuvered the pram with the sleeping baby around a corner and towards the shelves stacked with jars of dragon livers, bat spleens and various other mammal parts. He really ought to put an adjustment spell on the pram, he mused as one of the front wheels caught on something and brought them to a sudden stop. 

Edgar held his breath but Charlotte slept on like nothing ever happened. If only she’d do this at night… When he tried to gently readjust and retreat a little, the pram was stuck. “See, Lottie, this is why other parents have these carrier thingies,” he idly muttered under his breath, pulling at the handle. “We’re getting one of those tomorrow”. 

Out of the corner of his eye he could see a figure obviously waiting for him to clear the path. “Sorry. Give me five more seconds and we’ll be out of your way. Alternatively back through the herb isle might be faster.”
