Monday morning -- the Emporium is open

Michael sits behind the counter, clutching his coffee cup in his hands. He's only half-awake, and starts playing a game on the computer, hoping it will make him more alert.

*Paige walks in, she's pretty miserable and is carrying a envelope*

Good morning....or should I just say morning, since it doesn't look like it's been very good to you?

*Paige laughs slightly, but it's hollow* Not especially my boyfriend's been called away to England, he says he'll be back for homecoming, but I'm not so sure.

*she takes a deep breath* I have another $300 towards the dress, I thought I'd bring the rest later in the week if that's ok. I just hope I get the cahnce to wear it

Wow, sorry to hear that. I hope he makes it back in time. If not, then he'd better take you someplace you can wear the dress, just to make it up to you. *glances over at Ben, then leans in and whispers* Guilt trips can work wonders.

*Paige smiles slightly* He didn't leave through choice, but yeah I'm sure he'd take me somewhere if he does miss it, he's very good at making everything right, he's the most amazing poet!

*nods* Poetry is almost as good as guilt trips for working wonders. *glances at Ben* Writers make good life partners, too.

*checks computer* Your dress should arrive on Wednesday, if the delivery company is on time. And I really do hope you get a chance to wear it for Homecoming.

*Paige smiles but bites her lip trying not to cry again* Yeah we're very happy, I've just moved in with him actually.

I'll come in Wednesday then with the last of the money, thanks a lot, for everything

You're welcome. I hope your day gets better.

*Paige smiles* Well it can't get any worse right?

*gives sympathetic smile* I hope not. *knocks on wood counter*
