"Good morning dear" Karen said warmly, "would you like to leave your coat and bag in the back?" "Good morning Karen" Keely smiled, "yes, that would be great!" Keely made her way into the back of the store as she hung her coat she could hear Karen greeting someone in the store. As she meet her way back into the front of the store, she noticed a young woman with dark hair talking to Karen. "Keely dear, could you please grab the book under the counter" Keely nodded and made her way to the counter, Karen shouted "oh and bring a pen" Keely made her way back over to Karen and the young woman. "Could you please check Ada's order in the book for me please" Karen spoke with a smile, "oh dear, I forgot to deliver Mrs. Walkers dress to her this morning. Excuse me" she stood, "Keely here will look after you Ada until I get back" she rushed out of the shop with a box under her arm. Keely turned back towards the young woman, she extended her hand "I'm Keely" she smiled, "Ada" she shook her hand with a warm smile. "You have ordered a green dress, is that correct?" Keely smiled, "yes, that's correct but I'd like to change the colour. If that's possible" Ada smiled. "Yes that's fine, what colour would you like it to be?" "Actually I was wondering if you'd be able to help me choose a colour, I'm not sure what would suit me" Ada smiled warmly, "of course, I would suggest royal blue. It would really go with your pale skin and dark hair" Keely smiled widely. "Ohh royal blue is a beautiful colour, could I order that?" Ada clapped her hands together in an excited manner. "Of course, I'll write it into the book." "So Keely, where are you from?" Ada smiled "oh I'm Irish" Keely smiled widely. "Irish, I thought your accent was Scottish" Ada said laughing, Keely immediately laughed with her "really? Scottish? I don't sound anything like a Scottish woman" Keely and Ada continued laughing together as they talked about their lives, Keely had discovered that Polly was Ada's aunt and she knew she had made a great friend.

Keely laughed "8, oh Keely Polly will be so happy your coming, and believe me she's hard to keep happy" laughing Ada left the shop.
