Normal groceries Charlie bought at the local branch of Trader Joe's but Michaels Bros was top of the list for the stuff you didn't really need but bought all the same. Today he was there in response to a casual comment made during a long phone conversation by his father and was negotiating with the Michaels Bros wine buyer over the price on a case of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2009 - if and when it became available.
"A pleasure doing business with you," Charlie said once he had paid the scarily large deposit then he turned to leave and spotted Emily.
