The girl had finally arrived. She headed over to the back and grab the same slower, which was in the same area, which she had been doing for the past two weeks.

"Before I give you your change I want to know your name." I say holding onto a couple of singles. She looks up at me with wide eyes and then whisper, "Carrie."
