Chapter 7

• She danced, okay, levitated herself through the half-filled shelves and displays. She was so happy. Another day and she would be able to hang the Open sign on the door and pull the curtains back.
• “What do you think, Phinehas?” She turned and looked around for him. “Phinehas?” She sighed; he probably had gotten bored and walked back to the house. Had she left the window open enough for him to get in? Well, if she hadn’t, it was his fault for insisting he come with her today and then giving up before the work was finished.
• She looked around again with her hands on her hips. At first, she had thought to mix all the items in the displays together, but had changed her mind and set them up in little individual groups throughout the small area, if a patron were interested in figurines, all of them would be in one place. She glanced quickly to make sure the curtains were closed and the blind was pulled down on the door, then turned back and lifted her hands in the air.
