Walks In The Night of Memphis

”Will do! I always have!” she said and waved back, then walked out the door. She could hear her brothers voices in her head,What are you thinkin sis! He seems nice!” which echoed in her mind. Shaking her head from the thoughts, she focused on what she had planned for the day and hopped into her truck.


Sure he seemed nice and all, but Ashly wasn’t really sure how she felt about opening her heart to someone else after the loss of her boyfriend. It was still raw, even though it was years ago. It was hard for her since he was the first one to really love her and accept her for who she was. Since then, she’s been sticking to studying and avoiding any love life stuff. But she knew that she couldn’t hide from it forever. For now, she will just allow things to go however life wants to be and she will be fine with that.

Salem scoffed as she checked their supply of coffee. 'Probably can't handle someone like me.. Well sorry I don't sugar coat everything darling!' Grabbing the broom she began to sweep the floors, anything to keep her occupied. 'I'm not going to say you look pretty if you're wearing a potato sack!' Old memories began flooding in.. 'Well I thought she was gorgeous no matter what.. But she was nothing but a scorpion dressed like a butterfly.'

He gave Erin her juice once he'd refilled the cup for her, then sat down to listen to Erin chat quite happily. He idly brushed his hand over his shirt, just where the engagement rings he wore around his neck were under the shirt.
Damien stayed with Erin for a while longer, up until he heard the bell ring again to signal that another customer had arrived - at which point he stood up, and went back out to the main area to serve the customer. Now that the day was starting to move on, more customers started arriving. There wasn't a huge amount, but there was a fair flow - and he always made sure to spend any downtime with Erin.

Ashly had to make a quick stop at the cafe since she needed something to go with the brownies. Maybe a little hot coco, or maybe a latte or a coffee. She wasn’t sure what she wanted, but she knew she would find out when she got inside.

The young woman brushed back her brown hair, and allowed her green eyes to scan the menu. She decided to go with a hot coco, since it was a chilly morning and hot chocolate would seem to do the trick. She took out her phone to send a quick text to her brother and let him know that she picked up the cookies and she would bring them by after she finished up at the cafe.

She heard the door open and saw a customer walk in. 'Wow, someone's actually here.. Maybe there's hope for this shop yet.' She put the broom back in the utility closet and headed to the counter. "Yo, welcome to the Misty Morning cafe, how may I help you." Being all fancy wasn't her style but she got used to it.. She waited patiently for the order.

Dark green eyes glanced over to the person who spoke and a small smile formed on the woman’s face. “Ah yes... a small hot chocolate please.” she said, pulling out her wallet yet again. She waited for the person to ring up the price, her worn and faded wallet in hand.

It only took her a few seconds to ring up the charge. "That'll be $2.63. Cash or card?" She waited patiently for the lady to get out whatever method of payment they wanted. In the meantime she began the process of making the hot cocoa, it was homemade and took some time but the results are always worth the wait. Well that's what she heard.

”Cash.” she said, pulling out the exact amount. She could smell the hot chocolate as it was being made. She closed her eyes and memories of childhood came flooding her mind. Ashly missed those days, when she was little. It was something her family would always do on cold nights, while watching the stars or just to relax.

For a while, things went the same as they usually did... and then Damien got a phonecall. He answered, curious, and was surprised that he was hearing back from a local kindergarten that he'd applied for Erin to go to. He smiled brightly as he heard that Erin had been accepted into the kindergarten - to start next Monday.
Once he hung up, he breathed a sigh of relief. He'd been meaning to let Erin meet more children her age around town, but with the bakery and everything, he'd not been able to... but this was perfect. Things were starting to go right again... if only Catherine were here to see it all.

She took the cash and gave her a receipt. "It'll be just a moment m'am." Then she headed back to the cocoa to prepare it, she knew this recipe by heart since she makes it at home frequently. "Here you go." She poured the cocoa into a cup and handed it to the lady. "Enjoy your coffee!"
