She's turned the sign on the door to the side that says SORRY WE'RE CLOSED. It's technically after business hours, but that's just as well; it means they won't be interrupted. This is not the first customer to prefer his privacy, and won't be the last.

Alcina sits behind the counter, going through the day's accounts, and waits for the knock.

It was never an easy decision, making the phone call that ultimately led to this clandestine affair. It certainly wasn't easy going through the motions of making his mind up, or figuring out who to go to... Easy isn't part of the equation, but then it rarely is. This really shouldn't be any different.

Alcina is the one to go to with delicate matters, so that's where he's going. Even if it means his heart's beating a slightly nauseating tattoo, and if it makes him walk funny, then no one'd better tell him.

He knocks, but it takes some very stealthy lurking outside the shop before he thinks his nerves are up to it.

Take a deep breath, that's what he does, and lifts his hand, and before he knows it, knock-knock goes his knuckles on the door.
