Clearing her throat and walking closer, "What would you get them. No thinking what is the first thing that comes to mind?"

Her mother used to do this with her and her sister when they were kids and couldn't decide on a specific item in the store. First thing that came to mind was going to be the thing they got. It worked more often than not and she often used it in her gift giving.
An apology, he thought, but that's why he was getting the candy to send along. "Chocolates," he said under her direction that he not think about it. "Maybe some caramel chocolates," he said putting the box of cherry truffles back on the shelf. He glanced over at the lady. Maybe she had the right idea with the 'not thinking' direction. Was he being like Sachin and overthinking everything? He was sure Sachin wouldn't be that upset, but they had made these plans a while ago and Conley felt really poorly about canceling on him.

Conley gave the lady another shy smile. "But I'm not sure it would be enough though," he turned towards her about to ask her if they'd be enough to take the sting off of having to cancel plans for her, but then paused. Was he getting too personal? Was he spreading his business around? He decided it was a vague enough question. "What would want to receive if your significant other had to cancel plans?" It had been so long since he had to deal with these kind of problems. Sometimes, he missed being single.

No, no, he really didn't miss being single and now he felt guilty for even having thought about being single again.
