"will that be all?" i asked. a line that was mentally rehearsed several times while leading you to the register so there would be no stutter to make a fool of me. i wanted to impress you.

"yes, sir." you said, far too happy.
it made me feel insecure of my own smile. how did you get yours so bright?

i wrapped your new book up and handed you the bag. "thank you," you squinted your eyes, "tyler."

"how—?"
my confused expression fell when you gestured to the name tag on my shirt. oh.
"yeah, right. of course."

"the names josh, by the way... have a lovely day!" you smiled with a tinged pink of innocence and laughed as you realized your unintentional rhyme.

josh.
i liked it.
