I pull open the bathroom door to exit the ladies room with a newfound pep in my step, knowing I am moments from getting out of this insane asylum. Or so I thought, as I look down to the bench to where I left my basket to retrieve it except ... that it’s gone. You have got to be kidding me! Where is my basket? I look to the left, nothing; I look back to the right, nothing. I walk over to the Service Counter, still nothing. With no other choice, I walk over to the only cashier.

“Excuse me, did you see where my basket went? I set it on the bench over by the women’s bathroom door.”

With a guilty expression on her face, the cashier looks over my shoulder toward the bathrooms.

“Oh um, you mean you were still in there? I am so sorry, we thought you left and decided not to get the items.”

“Huh? Why would I leave without getting my stuff?” I demand.

“Well with all that was happening with that strange man who thought he was the tooth fairy I thought you decided to leave.”

“And why would I have put the basket by the bathroom if I was leaving.”

“Oh I don’t know, I guess I thought you just put it down as you were leaving.”

“Whatever, do you still have it?” I speak slowly trying to hide my annoyance but failing.

“I’m sorry I don’t, my manager took it to put all the items back.”

My eyes must have jumped out of my skull and threatened to slap her because she took a small step backward like she is getting ready to make a run for it.

“You are messing with me, right?” I ask with a forced laugh.

Her guilt-and-fear-filled eyes tell me that she is not messing with me. I admit I was being rude but I have had about enough of this night. I give her another evil glare before rolling my eyes and turning to go grab another basket.

This night cannot honestly be happening; this is the most ridiculous night of my life. No one will ever believe me that this ever happened.

I reach the hand-held baskets and grab a new one, then begin marching back to the feminine products aisle. My face must scream do no talk to me, do not even look at me because the two people I passed turned wide-eyed and immediately turned away the moment they made eye contact with me. I have to admit I was fully ok with that, since this is the most pissed-off I had probably ever been in my life. That is, until I hear my name in a sweet voice next to me.

“Ava, hey there you are. I was looking all over for you.”

“Liam? What are you still doing here?”

I don’t know why but my mood is immediately changed. I am no longer pissed off Ava now I am giddy, butterfly-filled Ava.

“Ok so, I actually work here; I’m an undercover shopper,” he tells me leaning over to whisper in my ear.
