The day turned dark because of the clouds by the time that boy reached the coffee shop. He pushed the door and was surprised when he met a stranger instead of the old lady behind the bar. It was a young lady he had never seen before. She looks a little bit older than big brother James, he thought.
"Can I help you, little boy?" She asked from behind the bar.
"I am...looking for the owner. My mother asked me to deliver these eggs and milk for her," He looked rather awkward. There was somebody he didn't know in his sanctuary. He disliked the fact. Even though he was a little boy, he knew nearly every single customer in that cafe.
"Ah, Granny Lisda is out to the post office for a while. You can give it to me," she smiled at him.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before? Sorry, I am not trying to be rude," he said while giving his basket to her.
"Ah, nice to meet you. You are a regular then? I am a new part-timer."
"New part-timer?"
"Yes, I work here starting today. My name is Lynn. Lynn Leslie," she offered her hand to the little boy.
"I am Charlie," he reached her hand.
