Covent Garden Flowers; Tuesday [08/28].
So Astrid had gotten her very first gremlin bite. In a way, it felt almost like a rite of passage...for something that she had absolutely no desire to be a part of. Overall, she supposed she should be grateful. It could have gone much worse and she'd only embarrassed herself in front of two people (Sabine didn't count, Sabine obviously understood, and she hoped Sabine wouldn't give her crap about it), and besides avoiding eye contact with the girl she'd sang to in cooking class (and, really, she avoided eye contact with most people anyway), it seemed she might actually be able to put it behind her.
Until she got to work.
The ballerina orchids were back, but instead of just dancing across the counter, they were also singing.
And so were the tigerlilies. And the oleanders. Even the decorative grasses.
"Shut up!" Astrid shouted at them eventually, though it didn't do much good. "How do you even know that song?"
It got to a point where she had to leave the store to run to Turtle & Canary for a pair of earplugs before she could get back to work.
Covent Garden is open!
