December 24, 1 PM Mike/Belli
The shop wasn't only open, but rather busy with holiday procrastinators, seeing as how it was one of the few establishments that was open that day. The owner was going from patron to patron, answering questions and referring to them by their names as if he were an old friend. However, Mike McBrayer did not go unnoticed. When the blond man stepped into the shop, the shopkeeper looked over and gave him an amiable smile and a nod in greeting. It wasn't the vacant, polite look of a stranger, either. The man seemed to recognize Mike from his previous visit.
Once Belli had a free moment to walk over, he proved it by saying, "And here's a man who knows his railroad watches, if I'm not mistaken. Hello! Doing a bit of last-minute gift-seeking, or are you in the market for something for yourself?"
