grocery store

"Thank you so much, dear!", the elderly woman said.

The young blonde in front of her packed her groceries into a bag and handed it out to her with a blinding smile. "You're welcome."

The friendly woman then walked out of the line and out of the store.

"Hello, love."

Her bright grin dropped into a deep frown as soon as she heard those words.

The brooding boy before her held a victorious smirk and handed her his basket. She rolled her eyes and pulled out five beer bottles. Her eyes were cast to the boy with a curious glint but she decided to push it no further.

"Funny seeing you here again", the male retorted.

The young woman kept her eyes glued to the beer bottles, checking their price in total. "That'll be $65, punk."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact amount, his eyebrows raised at her choice of endearment.

"I call you "love", and you decide to call me "punk"."

"Sounded necessary", she replied.

She handed him his bag full of alcohol and said "Have a good day."

The boy smiled and said "All these times I've come here, and I haven't caught your name." The blonde thought for a moment, and then flung her name-tag at him.

"Catch."
