Who: Audrey and Open to Anyone!
When: Monday, mid-morning
Where: Baxter Bakery
What: Lunch
Audrey was sitting in the front of the bakery, during a lull in customers, with a cup of yogurt, blueberries and granola in front of her. She wasn't really eating, more stirring things together and pretending. It had been hard to eat lately, as she'd had a lot of things on her mind. But she knew she had to eat for the baby, and had to keep taking her vitamins, and had to keep sleeping and doing all the things that were healthy for her. She gave a little sigh and leaned back in her booth, staring out the window into Diagon Alley.
Two customers she barely knew came up to her to give her advice. She'd sat politely and nodded while the first told her to go running back to George (that she'd never do any better) and the other told her she didn't need him. She didn't need any man. It was all she could do to keep from bursting into tears behind the register. The girls at the shop had been lovely, though, taking care of her and helping when she needed a break. They were lovely, and she was going to give them all a raise once this garbage with George was over.
Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she lifted her hand to brush them away.
