“Thank you!” I cut her off and wrapped my arms around her. There was a bittersweet feeling in my chest.

I gave her a cheeky smile in return. “Yes, I’m hoping you can help me with something.”

She laughed out loud at my request. “Honey, you gave me a shock!” She pulled out some notes from her pocket and stuffed them in my hands.

Then, she chided me, “Honey, why did you make it so dramatic? I really thought something serious had happened.”

I chuckled as I counted out the money I needed and returned the rest to her. “A tenner is enough.”
