If Sakura thought the previous days were boring, it was even worse now. Taking over the store from her parents was difficult. For two reasons. First, because they didn't give it to her because of retirement. They died - making every day here remind Sakura of them. And secondly because Sakura had to take care of literally everything. From paperwork to standing behind the cash register. She was able to hire employees, but so far she hadn't earned enough to pay their salaries.
So Sakura stood behind the counter every day and waited for customers, of which there were not many. Sometimes she regretted not going to ninja school. Sakura heard the bell ring. A tall, young man entered the store. She knew him. He was too recognizable.
"Good morning."
"Good morning." he replied and walked over to the jewelry shelf.
Sakura stood next to him. "Are you looking for something specific?"
"A necklace for the baby."
"Hmm, and what does this baby like?" he blinked twice "Don't you know?" she asked with a smile.
"It hasn't been born yet."
"Oh. How about something you associate with you and the mother?"
"It's my friend's baby, so..." Sakura felt her cheeks turn red.
"I'm so sorry."
"It's okay." did she just hear the amusement in Uchiha's voice?
"Do you happen to have something universal?"
"Sure, I'll bring it right over." Sakura took a small necklace of sunflowers and handed it to Sasuke. Sasuke looked at it and bought.
On his way out, he said: "See you around," and after that he came to Sakura's store every day, but not to buy anything.
