Shop's Log. Halifax NS. November 8th, Thursday, 15:56. Weather: Pouring rain, 9℃.
Two young ladies, college age perhaps, came in to browse. One of them reached for something and knocked over something else along the way. The dominoes fell and ended with one broken piece of pottery.
A hurried "sorry" and away they went...both running out of the door. They didn't wait for us to say, "It's OK." They didn't wait for us to say, "Accidents do happen." They didn't wait for us to smile to let them know it was really OK. We knew it wasn't on purpose.
I wish they had stayed. They probably would have had a better night's sleep.
