"Oh! Um." She looks panicked, briefly, before digging out some money from a pocket and handing it to me blind. It's enough to cover the meat, and from he look I think I should be glad. Poor girl seems scared or bewildered by half of what she's seeing and hearing.
Or she thinks I'm crazy. That might be it, too.
Count out a small amount of change, doing it slow so she knows what she's getting back. "That all for today, Miss?" Still hasn't told me her name. Won't hold it against her. Hand the meat over to her. "You want a hand carrying that back?" She might be able to manage it all. Still, it's not a long walk if she needs help.
