From underneath the car he was currently working on, Micah heard the shop bell ring as someone entered; he sighed and rolled out from beneath the car. “We’re closed,” he called out, before rolling back under the car to continue his work. But whoever was there didn’t seem to get the message; he didn’t hear the bell ring again, signaling them leaving. Usually Maxine showed up to hang out with him so he wouldn’t eat dinner alone, but he was pretty sure she was taking a later class– or maybe she was at a study group or something. He grumbled under his breath as he rolled back out from under the car, pushing himself up and making his way towards the office. “–Hey, we’re closed for the night. You’ll have to come back tomorrow.”
Max had finally gotten done her work and noticed it was about time for her brother to be closing up. She quickly finished up and ran down the street, ignoring the bell when she entered and didn’t hear her brother’s words. When he finally appeared at the door, she spun around and smiled. “You won’t make an exception for your only sister? That is just rude. I’m supposed to get special treatment. Like free oil changes and all hours of the day service. You’re a butt.”
