Someone comes to the counter

"What was that miss?"

The voice breaks into Emma's thoughts and she looks up to see an older woman stood the other side of the desk, two books in her hand. Emma freezes, suddenly very aware that she has no cover below the waist, and finds herself unable to speak.

"Are you okay miss? You look very flushed." The woman continues.

Emma swallows hard, finally finding her voice. "Yes, yes, just a little warm." As she speaks she reaches over, taking the books from the woman. "Checking these out?"

The woman smiles at her. "Yes please. And you're right, it is a little hot today isn't it. I think we're due for a lovely summer this year."

Emma nodded silently, unable to believe she was having such a normal conversation while completely exposed below the waist. Fear and excitement were beginning to make it very hard to concentrate.

You notice Emma's struggle and chuckle to yourself, it may be a job to cause mischief but it's also damn fun, you begin to wonder if maybe there's more you could do.
