Summary: Bakery goodness and friendly talk

Happy to have received a fresh supply of flour and even some sugar, Marie had been busy all week catching up with orders. Today, she'd just about finished the backlog - and she even had time to make some rare treats - cakes, and pastries - enough to almost fill the front display case. She still wasn't sure that the money she'd taken from her savings in order to pay for the flour and sugar she'd found was worth it - but well, it was to keep the business going. What could be done in times like these?

And it was worth it to see the happy faces of those who were pleased to taste her famous sweets again. It had been too long since the last batch, really. Marie resolved to try and have more of the luxuries for sale, whenever possible. Only a few customers were left in the store once the earlier rush had faded, and Marie turned towards them with a bright smile. "May I help you?" she asked.
