"Oh! No, no We’re open We just don’t get that many visitors Especially visitors as easy to look at as you are," Mr Henson said, sitting down on the edge of the countertop "What’s your na?" His comment broke my stare away from Tristan, and I cleared my throat, somewhat pleased by the distraction

"Elizabeth And you?"

"I’m Mr Henson And if I weren’t four hundred tiht think about taking you out dancing at the old barn house"

"Dancing? What ?"

Mr Henson kept the look of pleasure on his face and didn’t answer

I walked over and sat beside him "This is your store?"

"It is Every inch, every square Unless you want it" Mr Henson laughed "Because if you want it, then it’s yours Every inch, every square"

"That’s very te book ever published five ti on a store called Needful Things is a bit alar it Answered Prayers, but I’uy"

I snickered Tristan did too

I looked over at hi at the same time, so he stopped

My eyes fell to the books "Is it okay if I take these off your hands?"

"They’re yours, free of charge"

"Oh, no… I want to pay"
