Re: Chris/Alice - sitting area - 7:53 p.m.
Alice was focused on gathering the few used napkins that she and Isobel had used to take them to the trash. It was something too quickly accomplished that left her dwelling over her thoughts on what happened the night before, something she'd rather avoid. But a man's voice brought her out of her mind and for the briefest moment, she cringed, until her brain caught up to the present, That's obviously not Gus, and she looked up to see the man who had been with Daniel earlier.
She stared at him for a moment until her brain processed what he said and then she smiled, a real smile. The smile she used on kind customers and friends who complimented her baking. One that appreciated what the person said but didn't quite believe the praise was deserved. "Yeah, I'm Alice and yes I own the bakery."
