35. After you.
A steady stream of shoppers made their way quickly through the massive doors of Camelot Shopping Centre. People were pushed and ladies were shoved and men were groped and kids were yelled at and generally, it was an extremely stressful experience. Frozen rain splattered against hoods and umbrellas of the unfortunate costumers stuck in the awful weather waiting to get inside. However, the situation was most unfortunate for the two people who held the doors first and found it "too awkward to slip in front of the oncoming crowd" – Guinevere and Arthur.
Eventually she pulled out her phone and sent him a text. God, I regret being the better person right now. I feel too awkward to slip in front, you know?
Text from Arthur, 3:54 pm
I kno omg, whatre we gonna do? Lol
Text from Gwen J, 3:55 pm
I see a break coming up shortly, just give it a minute or so.
Gwen was right, as always. There was a short break in the line just a little ways away. Arthur bit his lip and looked across at her – he could definitely tell she was anxious. The sooner the gap came, the better it'd be. He nodded at her when it did so and she frowned. "You first, Arthur," she said, motioning to the doorway.
"No, no," he insisted, waving his hands forward. "After you."
