I’m a man in my early forties, working in my shop, waiting for customers when you walked in, browsing through the items i approached and asked

Anything to help with ?

*You smiled and said * Thank you

After a brief pause, I found myself blurting out

May I ask you something?

You looked up, tilting your head slightly, and the sight stopped my heart

I... I thought you’d be a great fit for my shop. I’d love for you to work with me. Don’t worry, your job would just be to help customers if they need anything or feel lost.

I waited, heart racing, hoping for an answer
