Who: Shelby Thomas and Jane Rusten
Where: The Doughnut Hole
What: Shelby meets one of the esteemed officers of Austin.
When: 8/8/19, 7:15AM
Business had been steady for the last fifteen minutes, and nothing to sneeze at before then, with the early morning interest. Better than Shelby could have hoped for for their first open day in Austin. The freenet advertisement seemed to have done it’s job, and Shelby expected the morning rush any minute. But she liked being able to have a conversation at the counter with the customers. She’d spent almost all her time since they moved from Des Moines helping her Gram and their small staff get the shop presentable. There hadn’t been a lot of opportunities to rub elbows with the residents of her new city. Ignoring the one conversation, they all seemed nice enough. But that could have been the strong coffee and doughy treats she supplied tipping the scales a little. Shelby had just finished with the last customer in line when she heard the bell above the door chime again, and she smiled at the newcomer. Tall, blonde, and she looked like she meant serious business. “Good morning,” Shelby greeted brightly. “Welcome to the Doughnut Hole, what can I get started for you today?” She had spent more than a week memorizing the name so she wouldn't slip and greet someone with, ‘Welcome to Joanne’s’ instead; a new city had meant a new name, and her Gram had compromised and let Shelby choose it. |
