The grocers stares came often as Anna pushed the shopping cart up and down the various aisles. Vacationing families, the remaining college students, and old ladies all had double takes as the cuffed girl made her way around the store. Anna blushed, but all she was concerned about was not seeing anyone she would recognize.
Luckily the list Miss Crosby provided was short and simple. Three bottles of white wine, a bag of grapes, some sort of artisinal cracker and various wedges of cheese. She picked up some prosciutto, smoked sausage and something called patě. The young girl that handed her the sliced meat didn’t bother looking at her eyes once the lock on her wrist cuff jingled. They both blushed.
Anna hit the self-checkout in an effort to stifle any more stares. She felt guilty, as if Miss Crosby would be disappointed. But she quickly made her way to her car and was on her way.
