。・『His plans』・。
I've been getting so much orders lately.
I'm enjoying it yes but I haven't gotten a break yet. It's getting too much.
I did not know that there were so many birthdays in August.
The one old lady orders six different types of plushies. Why? Because she has six grandchildren from her only daughter.
I can barely cope with kids in the store. How am I going to cope with six kids of my own? Her daughter must be strong.
Ryan has been missing for a while month. His family reported him missing. His face was all over TV and even flyers were posted.
I miss him.
Will has been helping me around the store like always and he helps to take my mind off of it.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes?"
"Can I put in an order?" the old man asked.
"Certainly sir. What would you like?"
"That ballerina doll over there with the hula hoop" he pointed at my new plush I made last week. It was a ballerina with a pink hula hoop around her.
"Yes?"
"Could I get ten of those please but I want two purple, two red, two pink and the remaining four orange"
"Okay. For when would you like this to be ready sir?"
"Next month, my dear child" the sweet man smiled at me.
"No problem"
Once he left, I sighed out in relief. Can't this day be over already?
The bell chimed and the door was pushed hard. Will entered, breathing heavily.
"Will? Is something wrong? It looks like you've been running?"
"No no my love. I just... had a great idea and rushed to tell you" he smiled down at me.
"Oh? Couldn't you call me then?"
"No, I only realized after I was halfway"
"Silly. So what is it?" I asked impatiently.
"Let's go away!" he beamed.
"Away? Why? Where?"
This was so sudden.
"You've been getting so many orders lately. I figured we both could use a break"
"I guess I do need one but -"
"I'll help you finish your current orders. Don't take anymore orders once you are done. We won't be gone long. Think of it as a short vacation. Perhaps you'll get inspired by our surroundings and sketch more beautiful plushies"
"It's tempting... Okay!" I smiled. I liked this idea.
"Then it's settled. Do you know when you'll be done with all your orders?"
"Hmm" I thought for a moment and checked my order book, "If I start early tomorrow I could finish about three orders. The others would take me until Friday to finish so I guess Friday evening I'll be done with everything. Luckily I have a few plushies in the storage that most of the customers ordered"
"Thats good then", he pecked my cheeks, "My smart, hardworking princess"
"Where will we be going?" I asked.
"A place no one will bother us"
