"You don't have to apologize for that, Miss Bridget! I don't mean to say that you have to stop in every day! I only meant that I had thought of you, with the new teas." She glanced to Rena, then back to Bridget, smiling. "We've only met once before," she admitted. "So I'm afraid that I don't know her very well yet. Am I interrupting your shopping?"
It was a silly habit, perhaps, but Abby still couldn't help but see most people as ranking somewhere above her, worth much more than she, hence her curtsy. She nodded and blushed faintly. "No, I suppose it isn't."
"I do- it's..it is a recent development. Her brother is a good friend of mine, and they have been kind enough to allow me to help out in the shop."
