Gary considered it another moment, and then he forced a smile. “You’re perfectly right. Enjoy your new purchases in good health.”

“Thanks. I will,” I said as I took the receipt and my change and handed the cookery to Pat.

Gary pointed to a sign above the register. It said, in old-fashioned script, NO EXCHANGES, NO RETURNS. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. “Sorry, it’s out of my hands.”

“I said that I was sorry, Mr. White,” Tommy pled.

“What? Sorry. I didn’t realize that you were still here,” the store owner said in an icy voice. Tommy looked as though he’d just been electrocuted as he stumbled out the door.
