dainty fingertips smooth over wrinkled fabric of apron as gaze absentmindedly travels across the room ----- it’s about time she looked up from the screen of her phone from her stance at the cashier , business has been slow today for obvious reasons . one too many times has she whined to fellow employees : why am i here ? ----- she’d much rather be playing animal crossing at home , after all , she’s so close to getting her island to five stars . and this is what’s on her mind as she begins to circle around the store when she realises there’s actually a customer browsing the store and winnie audibly gasps . and perhaps she should’ve used better judgment for the sake of not to scaring the other off but instead she all but runs toward the stranger , squealing as excitement bubbles over at the sake of seeing another human being , someone to talk to . ‘ oh my gosh , hi ! i’m so sorry i didn’t hear you come in ! welcome to bath and body works ! i am so glad you are here ! is there anything i can help you with ? ’
