| Well, thought Tate, this present will be different. She watched Pierre at work behind the counter. No matter how many questions people asked about the different kinds of cheese, Pierre was always patient, taking time to answer each one. When the last customer had left, Pierre hung the "Closed" sign in the window. "Time for me to go home, Tate" he said, patting her on the head. "I never worry knowing that you're here on duty." And with that, he locked the front door behind him and headed down the steep cobbled street. |
