"Veuillez accepter ces fleurs et mes condoléances, Desiree. Je suis vraiment désolé d'apprendre le décès d'André," a customer says, sliding a vase of roses and sunflowers toward me.

"Merci," I answer with a sincere smile and leave the vase of flowers on the counter behind me. I scan the three paintings and give her the total.

The woman gives me more money than the original total. She tells me to keep the change before I can say anything about it.

I thank her, pack the paintings, and hand her the bags. "Désolé pour l'attente. J'ai emballé les peintures pour qu'elles puissent être protégées de la pluie."
