JUNIPER HOLLOWAY SMILED AS SHE TUCKED A PIECE OF HER SOFT BLONDE HAIR BEHIND HER EAR AND QUICKLY NOTED DOWN THE INTAKE FROM THE DAY'S SALES. She had always been a bright girl, she could calculate large sums in her head and retain information much longer than anyone else in her class. Her teachers would constantly praise her work and encourage her to aspire for higher goals, but Juniper was never interested in that, she just wanted a quiet, comfortable life not one full of stress and unmet deadlines.
Henrik's Department Store was her life, most of her friends would call her sad when she told them this, but they didn't understand how much this place meant to her. Before Juniper Holloway, it was a mess, any employee would verify that, but she turned it around. Juniper turned a store that they used to call 'worthless', 'a disgrace' or 'beyond hope' into a place of happiness and laughter. She loved the store like a mother would a child and would always go out of her way to make sure all the employees were happy with their jobs which is how she met her best friend — Rose Tyler.
It was closing time in the store and by now most of the employees had gone home except from Juniper and Rose who were staying behind to help clear things up after another busy day. Afterwards, when the two girls were about to walk out of the door, they were stopped by a security guard who handed Rose the lottery money she needed to give to Wilson. The teen hit her palm against her forehead in embarrassment. "I can't believe I forgot." She grumbled, looking down at the money now in her hand.
Juniper chuckled and turned to her friend with her signature friendly smile. "It's fine. Everyone forgets something now and then. This morning, I forgot that my house keys were still in the door and I had to rush back and get them." She reassured Rose who smiled gratefully in response. "I'll tell you what, I'll come with you and after we can go and pick up some ice cream on the way home."
