Although it was not Wyler’s place to question Larkin, he felt as his Keeper that he needed to make sure Larkin was not making decisions that would endanger his safety. “Are you sure you want to do this? I really don’t think this is a very good idea.”
“Yes! Now go. She is on her way down.”
Wyler obediently rushed to a cart that already had a few items on it and watched as Jezalyn walk up to him, “Thanks again, Wyler. I can’t wait to read that book.”
“You’re welcome. Here come help me put some of the books out, so you will be aware where to find each genre.”
“Okay,” said Jezalyn following close behind stopping at a nearby shelf to put away a few books.
“Good, it looks like you are becoming familiar where each genre is located,” said Wyler, after noticing Jezalyn took a few books off the cart and placed them in their proper places without being prompted.
“Almost,” responded Jezalyn somewhat nervously. She did not want to give Wyler the impression that she was a slow learner, yet she comforted herself with his comment and the knowledge that it was still only her first day. She watched as Wyler unexpectedly broke his own rule and marched up to a customer. What should I do? Should I follow him, but he said don’t bother customers. Is this a test? I don’t want to fail and get fired on my first day. Oh, but what if it was not a test and I was supposed to … She fretted even as Wyler waving her over, Oh no he looks concerned. Did I just fail ? Jezalyn pushed her thoughts to the back of her mind as she proceeded toward them. She was only several feet away when she saw the man whisper something to Wyler, who smiled. Her nerves eased as she neared them and Wyler’s expression of concern still remained.

Wyler had walked over to Larkin, who was grinning. He turned to introduce them but noticed Jezalyn did not follow him. “Why did she not follow me? And what’s up with the grin.”
He let out a laugh and said, “She is following your directions not to bother customers.”
“Oh,” replied Wyler.
“Well don’t just stand there. Wave her over.”
Wyler waved her over without remembering to ask Larkin what introductory name he wanted.
Larkin leaned over and said, “Smile.”
Wyler smiled, but it was too late to mention something to Larkin about it, because Jezalyn was within ear distance. He extended his arm toward Jezalyn and said, “This is Jezalyn. She is my new clerk and tenant.” He swung it toward Larkin, “And this is…”
After a moment’s pause, Larkin elbowed Wyler playfully and waved his hand in a friendly manner toward her, “Hi! My name is Larkin and as you can see my not so good friend over here has forgotten my name already.”
Jezalyn slightly lifted her hand as she giggled about the comment. “Hi. It’s nice to meet you.”
Wyler tried to recover his blunder with a playful remark, “Oh, friend, I could never forget you. I was shocked to see you standing in the middle of my shop that’s all. Jezalyn, he is going to be visiting with us for awhile.”
“Oh.”
Wyler turned to Larkin and said, “Would you like a tour of the shop?”
Before he could nod his head yes Jezalyn asked, “Do you need me to get his bags while you’re showing him around?”
Without missing a beat or even a slight flinch as he spoke, Wyler quickly responded, “No! It would be ungentlemanly of me to let you carry in his bags. Could you show him around, while I grab them?” and without a response, he turned to ask Larkin where his bags were.
Larkin knew he had no bags, but responded in the same steady tone Wyler had. “Oh, they’re right outside the door. I travel light, so I can get them later.”
Jezalyn ogled him in alarm. “Aren’t you scared someone will steal your stuff?” she asked.
Larkin cracked a smile and said, “Not really. This is a small town; nothing scandalous ever happens in a small town. Besides, there was a cop sitting next
