The Beginning: Singing Plot

Thomas smiled when Greta walked through the door. "Flip the sign, would you?"

He'd given Rowan a break, sent him off on lunch. But now that Greta was here, he supposed it wouldn't be too untoward to take a little break himself. It wasn't unusual for the shop to close for lunch - he had so few staff members that it just had to be that way, most of the time. But more than that, it seemed oddly civil.

"There's something in the back I want to show you. I'd thought to just bring it over later, but this is perfect."

He liked that she dropped in to visit him, whenever she had time or whenever it occurred to her.

Greta can't help a sheepish smile as she obliges. She doesn't drop in unannounced too often, both because their shifts so often overlap, and because she doesn't want to be a distraction when the shop is still a bit low on staff. She knows Thomas has some new hires, but they're probably still finding their feet. Regardless, it isn't very professional for her to haul their boss into the back room.

But it's getting on towards lunch, anyway, and Thomas seems more pleased than usual to see her. And with no one else here, there's no one to mind if they disappear for a little while.

"Are you working on a new design?" she asks, eyes alight with curiosity as she crosses over to him. He doesn't typically bring his experiments to her, but it might be something Saoirse would like, too.
