It was a slow afternoon in the health food store. Bluebell on till three was keeping up a relentlessly cheerful monologue as she rung up the purchases of a woman with a long, dark braid, and a very rude t-shirt.
When a darkly handsome man ambled in from the street looking vaguely uncomfortable, he immediately became the cynosure of all eyes.
Cinnamon rushed to his side.

He smiled down at the wispy figure and she shivered so her bangles jangled.
“I’ve just come to collect my wife.”
