It's pretty busy at Semele's for a Tuesday afternoon, but not overly so. It's enough to keep me on my feet, keep me focused on each order as it comes in, but not so busy that I can't deliver some of the pies on my own. That's something I honestly love to do if i have the chance, to meet the people I'm baking for, even if only briefly. And I feel like maybe they like being able to see the face of the person who's made their pie, too.
Or maybe I'm just telling myself that to make it not feel so selfish. Probably doesn't matter in the long run.
I'm just on the way back from delivering a slice of warm cherry pie à la mode to a regular who may or may not be a vampire (I'm too nervous to ask) when I notice a new face at the bar. She looks weary, like she's at the tail end of a really long day. Kira's busy on the other side of the bar so I quickly pop behind the counter to pull a menu out from underneath, sliding it over.
"Hi, welcome to Semele's!" I tell her, giving her my best warm smile. "It's not in there, but the pies for the day are cherry, peach, and apple cobbler. Plus, I think I've still got a batch of snickerdoodles if that catches your fancy."
