Jay shook his head in disbelief. This was all a bit too much for him. “Um…you don’t need to demonstrate, but I’ll buy the full set.” Adrianna looked a little dampened for a moment before her composure returned.
“Want it to be a surprise huh? I can respect that. You seem like a lovely young man, so how does this sound for a price?” She gave him the price and his jaw nearly dropped. He had expected the box to be expensive, maybe far beyond what he could afford, but she offered it for little more than what he would pay for a few lunches at his college.
He started to protest, but she insisted, opening the display case and handing him a box set. They made their way to the counter and Jay handed her the money. “Are you sure?” Adrianna nodded. “Thank you so much.” She grinned at him. “Of course! Please come back soon.” Jay stepped out of the Emporium and back onto the narrow sidewalk. He considered what to do next.
