Shopping
The boy entered through the door and the bell rang. He wiped his feet on the carpet and addressed the counter.
“Good afternoon. May I help you?” asked the old man.
“I wanted the one in the showcase.”
The old man came out from behind the counter and opened the door that gave access to the showcase. He approached the counter and put the suit on top. “It’s of very good quality, resistant to heat. Feel it.”
The boy touched it, savoring the texture with his fingers. “Yes, this is it. How old is the skin?”
“Ten years. It’s still new.”
“Yes, there aren’t many scratches. Just out of curiosity, what was the name of the owner?” asked the boy.
“Peter. Why?”
“Curiosity. I’ll take it,” he said with a smile.
