"Claudia and Paul make plans and stick to them"
They say bad news travels fast, shit, so does good news. The very next morning, Mother Bitch comes flying in the front door of the shop. Claudia and I looked in the mirror from the back room and saw it...
"Claudia deals with a rich bitch and her mom, Paul rewards her efforts"
After being drug through the mud by Mother, the rough part of the day was over. Paul and I went over the order form for Tuesday’s delivery. A few customers perused the shop, and I did make a couple of...
"Paul's fake as a customer, saves Claudia's face with her mother, and Claudia rewards him"
Things at the shop were going very well. Paul was natural with the customers, and he and Dave had started a Tuesday morning, twenty-minute coffee break. I was thrilled that they got along so well. Paul was very attentive to...

"He breaks a leg in a cemetary and finds a full time nurse with benefits"
