Calum looked down at the cash register. How easy it would be to steal the money and run, he thought. He then mentally chastised himself. No matter how much he needed it, he wouldn't steal. But then again, where would he get the money?

Calum Hood would walk in everyday to Lilly's Tiger Lillies and fight to get more then minimum wage. He was saving up. His sister was currently deployed somewhere around the world and his father dead. His mother was in a state of depression and had panic attacks where ever she went, so she basically never left the house.

For a second he wondered if flower girl would walk in. Flower girl is a girl who would walk in everyday and buy a single flower. I can never remember the name but I ring it up for her anyways.

She always pays in cash and speaks quietly like a mouse. Flower girl has long, blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes. On her head is always a pastel flower crown, another reason for the name.

Suddenly the bell rings signaling someone opened the door. I awaken from my daydream ready to help another customer. I look, hoping for it to be flower girl, but instead see an woman in a pantsuit.

I sigh, not yet.
