I’m knackered after my grand adventure up to Harrogate! I’ll say more about it another time when I get my brain together!

 

(Thank goodness for past me madly putting my pages together in advance PHEW)

The colour drains from Damian as he resigns himself to fighting the customer, thinking "GUESS I AM ON DAMAGE CONTROL."
However the elderly customer grumbles then turns to leave. "Far too expensive. I will come back another day when it's cheaper. HMMPH."
CJ looks clam yet smug.
She then whispers to her aside "It'll still be me and you'll still not get some!"
Ash walks back to her and whispers back "And the cupboards still won't have cookies in them!"
They both fist bump.

Damian sighs in relief and tenses his forehead. Ash exclaims cheerfully "I was so sure he was gonna snap!"
CJ grins back. "He's all bark and no bite." She whispers to Ash again. "Dentures were probably too expensive for him, heh heh."
Ash whispers back "Oh my god CJ you bitch ha ha" to which CJ mock blushes and says "Thank you thank you"

Damian thinks to himself. "Why is he like that?"
He looks off the side, hanging behind Ash and CJ who are back on deli. "I wonder if he's poor? 'cause he acted like that was his dinner?"

CJ scoffs. "Nah. I think that was him being a cheap bastard!. He went for the expensive chunky hams; not the cheap reductions or whatever or whatever is actually affordable. He wanted a free meal."

The elderly customer is loitering around patisserie.
