The girl didn't know who he was. But the next weekend, she came back. She entered through the same door, eyes roaming and uncertain. She glimpsed the sunglasses rack where she had made an absolute fool of herself.
She stood there just inside the doorway, for about five minutes.
And then he found her. The boy had been cashing a cheque when his eyes suddenly focused on the girl. A grin spread like jam across his face. He cashed the last cheque and walked calmly over to where the girl was standing.
He said Hey.
Her head snapped to look at him. Her eyes were large Hey.
And they talked.
He asked her if she was going to buy anything, maybe some sunglasses. She laughed and looked away, blushing furiously.
And they kept talking.
Eventually, they walked side-by-side towards the sunglass rack and stood there together as she made a show of choosing the pair that suited her most. The boy gave his suggestions. They must have tried every pair on the rack.
But alas, she didn't buy anything. That was not why she had entered the shop.
