Ellie was left alone to work for the most part, Christine would pop in to grab a box and disappear again. After about ten minutes of moving things, the silence of the bookstore was shattered by a loud crashing sound.
Luckily, Christine was on the stairs, against the wall and looking down in mild surprise and shame as a box of dishware she had purchased but never had an excuse to use was now shattered on the ground at the base of the stairs. "Pity.."She sighed flattening her lips and shrugged. "I will get to it after you're done with the broom, Little Ellie." She said with a sad smile.
