This was the one shop that he really didn't want to have to go in. It was a girl's shop, really, and this just wasn't the sort of shop he would ever want to be seen in. But he had no choice. His father had told him he had to get a few bits and pieces from in there and he really had no choice about the matter. If he didn't get things himself, his father would get it for him instead. And he would have no choice about what he got. At least this way, he got to choose.

He took a deep breath and walked in, heading straight to the counter to try and get this over and done with as quickly as he could.
