Welcome to Gaia! ::

Standing out in front of the A&H Bakeries storefront door, Hannah rocked back on her heels fidgeting with her cyan scarf with one hand while the other held onto the business card in her coat pocket. It had fallen on the floor earlier this morning as she was cleaning off her desk, a silent reminder that she should go say hi since she forgot to tell him her own name before taking off. Although now that she was here, looking in at the groups of people waiting in line, some with kids, others with spouses or dates, she half wonder if she should walk down the street and call first before walking in and asking for Arias.

Unfortunately as she was fishing for her phone the door swung open allowing the sweet smell of chocolate to spill outside into the open streets. “Oh! I-I’m so sorry.” she quickly apologized to the couple trying to leave.

“No worries you’re fine.” The woman smiled kindly, skirting around Hannah while her boyfriend, or husband, held the door open.

“Thank you,” Hannah ducked her head under his arm and stepped inside the warm shop. So much for that plan… she sighed looking down at the linoleum tiled floor. Now she was committed, no point in leaving and coming back, and so she approached the first employee she saw. “Um excuse me? Hi, um is Arias here by chance?”
