[Decades? That made the girl raise an eyebrow as he wondered just how old he was. Would it be rude to ask what his age was? She didn’t know but she kept her mouth silent as she continued to listen in.

There was a lot to say as she processed what heard. She opened her mouth to say something but instead, she closed it back. The words she wanted to say struggled to come out but she just didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know if it was rude to say what she wanted to say but it needed to be addressed.

Looking at her cup once more, she took a deep breath in. She had to be more confident in herself, she needed to speak up and say something!]

It seems like you must really care for her if you stayed this long for her return. All I can say is I hope she does come back and realize how much effort you put into taking care of her store.

[If she didn’t, she wouldn’t know what she would do.]
