That sad face quickly changes into pure joy, “Thank you, Alex!”
I lightly wave off her thanks and turn around to walk out of the isle. Sam starts walking behind me, but then comes to an abrupt stop.
“Oh! I almost forgot something.”
“Well, hurry up. We’re almost done here.”
I walk up a bit when I hear rushing footsteps coming from behind me. I look back and see Sam carrying an entire basket full of Japanese snacks.
“… What’s all that?”
“My snacks.”
