Pardon me Where: Searchlight General Store When: Present Status: Complete
Do you have any Grey Poupon?
“Excuse me:”
It was a voice he didn’t recognize. Ronnie turned a bit and looked up at the taller man requesting his attention.
“Sure man,” Ronnie nodded, curious. He felt a bubble of paranoia, and a weird twist in his stomach he couldn’t shake. “What’s up?”
The man leaned toward a bit of vegetation secluded in a bin in the Searchlight General Store. “I have this recipe I’m trying to do? You know, with Valentine’s Day coming up and all. And I was wondering if you could help me find mascarpone cheese?”
Ronnie blinked.
“Oh. Uh? Well, sorry to break it you man, but you can’t like...buy that here? It’s sort of something you have to make.” That was way too fancy for a small store in a tinier town.
The guy looked shocked and then sad. “Oh, really? Oh. Well I guess I have to look that up then.”
Ronnie smiled. “I can give you some tips.”
“Seriously?” The man replied, shocked. A smile began to form. “I would be so grateful.”
A quick nod and he whipped out the red flip phone. “Dude. Let me text you a thing.”
