      YOU CAN HAVE MINE

      Who cares how it started. Does anyone care? Not really. But it did. And it had resounding effects on everyone and everything around her.

      The men were absolutely taken by her charm and wit. Flocking to her shop at all times of the day, just dropping in for a chat. It was always important what they came for, but not really, they just wanted to be near
