"Kind of like me, then," Chad said with a nod. That reminded him, as well... "And you seem to be adapting pretty well, Alice. Is that right?"

"I think so," she smiled, faintly. "It was ... rough, near the beginning. There's so much that I've no clue about, and ... well. My doctor said that I was still 'fragile,' and argued against my release. Perhaps he was right. I don't feel fragile."

She never had. Not even when she was mad and lying in an asylum.

"You don't look fragile to me, either," Chad offered.

"Thank you," Alice said, flushing. "And thank you for hiring me, as well. I rather enjoy my position, at the shop, especially since I've now got money to get clothes. And some music discs of my own."

"You do like it, though?" Chad asked. "I know it gets kind of boring, but I appreciate your help there."

"I'm never bored," Alice said, eyes alight. "Even when the store's empty. I've progressed as far as the Ds. I play with Dinah and I discover new music, and then when customers come in, I help them. I love working there."

Nervously, she added, "Am I doing all right, as an employee? I do hope I've been all right. I had some difficulty with the cash register, to start, but I think I've mostly worked that out, by now."

Chad shook his head a little. "You're doing great," he said, with a nod. "I'm sure Melody would think so, too."

And, really, her response to him saying it was kind of boring was all he needed to know that. She really did enjoy the music and discovering it, and, sure, a business was supposed to be about selling stuff and making money, but Chad could never see the store like that. It was there for precisely what Alice was doing: enjoying music. He couldn't ask for anything more in an employee, really.

She even had a cute cat, so bonus.

A cute attention-starved cat, who rather enjoyed the company of the customers. Alice was the happiest employee she could be.

"It's Melody who owns the store, isn't it?" Alice asked. "I wish I could have met her."

Chad nodded. "Yup. She owns the store, but she's on tour with her own band right now. She's a lot of fun."
