She stuck out her hand for a quick shake. She expected Romi’s hand to

was surprised when Romi’s fingers curled around hand and she clasped

The store still had half an hour before it was officially open for business, so
Kiera walked over and locked the front door, since she’d been too distracted
to do it when she entered.
“And he’s difficult?”
