As Sara walked to the pawn shop, it occurred to her that she had never actually gone into the pawn shop before. Her boss, Mr. Ross, had always been the one to take the rent into the landlord's shop. She'd passed it plenty of times, sure, but never actually gone in. Stopping in front of the shop with check in hand, she turned the handle and stepped inside.

The overhead bell tinkled pleasantly as she entered.

Looking around as she entered, she spotted a man she assumed was Mr. Gold, and approached him with a smile. "Hello, are you Mr. Gold?"

"Yes, I am," the man replied, "What can I..." he trailed off when he saw the woman.

"Oh good!" She smiled, relieved. She blinked as she stopped before him, blushing a little when he stared at her. "Uh.. my name is Sara Wallace, it's a pleasure to meet you." She said, and slowly put out a hand to shake his. "I just thought I'd bring you the rent I owe."

He blinked. "Forgive me, Ms Wallace. You owe me rent?"

She nodded with a smile, "Yes sir, my apartment and the town's art gallery." she said, and held out the check to him. "My employer-"she spoke of her employer with resigned distaste and... fear? "-usually brings the check in, Mr. Ross."

"Ah," understanding filtered across his face, "I didn't know he had an assistant." He took the check from her.

Sara grimaced before covering it up with a smile, "He's...been rather protective since my father recently passed away; and he's taken over the gallery as well, so I just stay on to help manage things." she said, then added in her head, 'And he's abusive and cruel and scares the life out of me!'. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other, and then rubbed her arm gingerly.

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that," he said, "If there's anything I can do to help..."

She smiled gratefully, "Thank you, but I just need time, I think."

Gold walked around from behind the counter, leaning on his handsome cane. "If you have a moment, I have something you might be interested in..."

She blinked, "Oh?", and glanced briefly at the clock, then smiled at him, "Looks like I have a few minutes yet."

He hunted around for a bit and then emerged with a box. "I loaned your father the money to start his art gallery, did you know that?"

Sara moved curiously forward a bit as he searched, and was surprised at this new information. "No, I didn't know." She said, looking from him to the box and back again curiously.
