Don't Ask Alice (2012)
“‘Sorry, girls,’ she said. ‘I didn’t come down in the last shower of rain, so don’t even try to pretend that you’re eighteen.’ Alice and I spoke together.
‘It’s for my dad.’ ‘It’s for my aunt.’ The girl laughed.
‘Here’s a little bit of advice girls – next time, at least try to get your stories straight.’ Alice protested.
‘But it is for my dad and her aunt. It’s for both of them. They’re…well… what I mean is…’ The girl took the champagne from the conveyer belt, and stood it on a shelf... behind her.
‘Whatever. I don’t care if it’s for your granny and her pet elephant, just tell them if they want it, they’ll have to come here and get it for themselves. OK?’ Even Alice didn’t dare to argue any more, so we just paid for the rest of the shopping and left the supermarket.
We got back to my place and stashed all the food in the fridge.MoreLess
