“Looks like you kept the store together without me.”

I looked up from the register to give Lyssa an over-the-top glare. “Excuse you, I ran this shop without you before and I am more than comfortable doing it again.”

“Sure you are,” she joked, heading to my office to put her things in her employee cubby. “But in all seriousness, I missed you.”

“I missed you, too,” I confessed, waiting for her to return so I could hug her. She’d only been out of work for four days to do some special labs at school, but I definitely missed her charming presence around my store. I guessed I’d gotten used to having her pleasant company around, and my shop had felt quiet and empty despite how insanely busy it had been. “You missed such a surge. I don’t know if it’s that influencer or not, but things have been crazy around here!”

“Oh jeez, I’m sorry. Figured it would happen right as school is going into its final ramp-up.”

“Pfft, don’t you worry about me. Just focus on that education. I’m a tough cookie, I can survive a rush or two.”

“I mean, that is true.” Lyssa took a breath and looked around the store. I was pretty pleased with how orderly it was given the chaos, but it certainly wasn’t in peak condition. “Hmm, want me to do reshops and any shrink from the dressing rooms?”

“Ohmygodyesplease!” I said without taking a breath. They were tasks I could definitely do, but I hated them so much that I would never not be grateful for Lyssa being willing to do them.

“Alright, no problem. I’ll get on that now.”

Lyssa headed to the back, leaving me to really wonder exactly how I had survived without her for so long. She really was a blessing, in every definition of the word.

But even with Lyssa’s help, we had our work cut out for us. We had nearly two dozen online orders before noon, and I still had two other days of shipping to catch up on, which I definitely should have been able to do all that with Lyssa in the shop. But it was clear that our streak was only growing.

“I think I might need some new hands for the shop,” I murmured to Lyssa as we both chowed down on subs behind the counters. Normally, we’d just duck into my office for lunch and come out whenever the bell rang, but it was just too busy for that.

We had maybe five minutes between each customer’s entrance, and we’d take turns greeting them so we could get some food into us. After all, it wasn’t good for a wolf to skip meals. Especially a wolf who was very new to her wolfiness, aka Lyssa. While I could tell she generally had a good grip on her inner beast, there was only so much one could reasonably expect a newbie to be able to withstand.

“Really?” Lyssa asked, eyes wide and a piece of banana pepper sticking out of the corner of her mouth.
