He turned back to Patrick. "Sure, whatever," Aiden said with a shrug. It's not like he was dying to know everything about the guy. Ehh, no wonder Vanessa hadn't been around much lately. She's had this death to deal with. "I'll have to give them my condolences.." Unfortunately, though, there's not much one could do to make that sort of thing much less painful.
Patrick just gave him a nod. He tapped the sugar quill he held rhythmically against his palm and watched as a girl came up to Aiden and then walked off. "
She definitely needs them," he added, giving him a half sort of smile. He should probably finish up here since someone was waiting on Aiden. He turned and grabbed another sugar quill. "
I should get going." He started forward to the check out counter but stopped and turned around. "
I'm sorry for went down between us." Then he turned back around and continued to check out.
