Sensible wasn’t exactly in her vocabulary and off to Sugarplums she skipped with the intention of buying a whole plethora of sweets that her Mum’s wouldn’t usually allow her to have, sugar being bad for her and all. But her Ma in her ready to pop state had been indulging in a sweet treat or two herself, she’d found the wrappers in the bin that morning.

The bell above the door rang as she pushed it open only to see a surprisingly empty store with the exception of a small child who looked almost as excited over the candy as she did. Poor kid didn’t know what was coming. “HI SMALL CHILD” the blonde beamed.
