Count D normally didn’t wait in line for sweets. Today was a special day though. The shop was selling his favorite fruit tarts.

“How can I help you?” A friendly red-head asked him when it was finally his turn. The first thing Count noticed was how sad her eyes were.

‘She could use a fish,’ he thought.

“I would like the purchase the fruit tart.”

“Sorry sir, we just sold our last tart,” she apologized.

The Count turned around and glared at the departing tart-carrying customer.

“I am really sorry, is there anything else you would like? The Chocolate Mousse is very delicious.”

He sighed in disappointment.

“I could save you one for tomorrow…”

“You can do that?”

She nodded, which made the Asian, pet shop owner grin.

“I’m Count D. What is your name?”

“I’m Willow.”

Some of the customers behind him were getting annoyed and complaining.

“I should leave now. Willow, you should stop by my pet shop in Chinatown one day. You look as though you could use a companion.”

‘How does this stranger know?’ she wondered

“Um, maybe I will. Thanks.”

“Until we meet again,” Count D kissed Willow’s hand.
