-Eva's POV

Once we arrived in town, my sisters dragged me to different shops from clothing to shoes then to makeup. I typically just walked around feeling the material while let the girls pick out something for me. Cara usually prefers making me her own personally Barbie anyways. Once they felt they found enough new clothes they decided to take me to a coffee shop for lunch.

When we stepped in the bell above the door dinged. "Hello, take a seat wherever you like. I'll be with you shortly." a young man's voice said. 

Cara dragged me and Leila to a booth and sat us down. Leila started reading off some of the items off the menu until I started hearing shuffling of feet behind me. I put my hand up signalling Leila to stop talking. 

"Hi my name is Brody, I am the owner of this shop as well as your waiter today." He chuckled sounding forced.

"Brody, I apologize if this is intrusive however do you have anyone to help you?" Cara speaks up placing her menu down on the table.

"Well I usually have two workers here however one is on vacation and the other didn't bother to show up... so no." He said sounding annoyed while rubbing his hands on a towel hanging from his pocket.

"We can help, we've worked in shops like this before and we don't want you to fall behind." 

"Yeah, it would be fun!" Leila chirps.

"Oh no, I can't ask that of you... I don't even know you and-"

"Well my name is Cara, and these are my sisters Leila and Eva." She said gesturing to us. "Now that you know us, you have no reason to refuse our help." 

I chuckle knowing my sister will not give up until he just accepts so I decide to interrupt them.

"Brody, my sister is a little head strong and knowing you need help, she will not stop until you accept so you might as well say yes and save yourself the next 10 minutes of trying to convince her otherwise." I state while both of my sisters giggle.

"Well when you put it that way, I can't refuse." Brody says with amusement clear in his voice. My sisters get up while Cara links arms with me to bring me to a bar stool sitting me next to register. I take a seat with Leila while Cara follows Brody behind the register. "Okay, so I can do all the cooking of pastries. Do you know how to work an espresso machine?" 

"Yea, I just need you to show me where the roast blends are located." Cara says back to him.

"Follow me back here... "He says putting a towel down by the register. I listen to their foot steps retreating while Leila swings her legs in the chair beside mine.

"Alright, now that their gone. Tell me about him." I say turning my direction towards Leila. Although she is young, she is still very inquisitive and I trust her opinion above all others... even Cara.
