Brandy -- Thank you for noticing! I have made the appropriate change.
Please enjoy!

"The wind was stronger than I'd ever known it to be...Thunder crashed about us like death t'weren't to far behind..."
I listened, hanging on every word that he said. Erick told his story several times every day, and yet it never changed. Regardless, it captured me, every detail seemed to come alive as he spoke them.
As the story ended, and people drifted away, his eyes met mine, and he winked at me. I blushed and went to serve the rest of my customers.

"I hate to see him go." I told Sarah, as I picked up the drinks for my next table. "This week has gone by far too fast."
"Mr. Rend wouldn't like it if he heard you sayin' that, Brandy." Sarah scolded. "You know we aren't allowed to fall in love."
"Who said anything about love?" I said innocently. "I'm just going to miss him, that's all. The stories he told were amazing."
"Mm-hmm." Sarah said, not believing me. I just shook my head and went to serve the drinks.
"Hey, Brandy. Come here." I turned to see Erick at the foot of the steps, dressed and ready to go. I served my drinks quickly and went to him. "I have something for you."
He held out his hand, and showed me a simple chain, with a locket on it, both silver. Engraved on the locket was his name, Erick Mecor, in bold letters.
"Thank you..." I murmured. Erick smiled, undid the latch, and stepped behind me to put it on my neck.
"Now I'll be with you, no matter where I go." He said.
"Where did you get it?" I asked, and he opened his mouth to answer, but was inturrupted.
"Brandy?" It was Mr. Rend. "Get over here now, there's work to be done!"
"That can wait until later." Erick said in reply to my question. "I promise I'll be back within a years time, Brandy." He picked up his bag, and walked out the door. I stood frozen for a moment, before Mr. Rend's yells woke me out of my trance and sent me running to serve the customers.

"Brandy?" I jumped as Mr. Rend's irritated voice woke me from my memory. "Aren't you done with dishes yet?"
I looked down to see that I was only half finnished with the dishes.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Rend. I'm not quite sure what's wrong with me." I apologized.
"Well, you'd best sort it out, and soon. I'd hate to fire one of my best girls." Mr. Rend replied, and headed towards the door. "Lock up when your done."
"Yes, Mr. Rend." I said, nodding.
