vanessa put down her phone and shook her head. was this guy seriously flirting with me? she thought to herself before hearing the bell chime at the door. 

"welcome to little violet's thrift shop!" vanessa said as a little girl and her father entered. the little girl waved at her as the girl's father smiled.

"if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask." vanessa called out to them as they walked further into the shop.

her phone began to buzz as string of messages began to come through.
