Mariah literally ignores Burkhard's offer and says...
Sorry! No time to chat. Another time, nice to see ya!
She gives a big smile and starts to literally run towards the cashier. She reaches there, pull out her purse with cash and starts looking at both sides to see if anyone is coming after her.
Knowing to chase her would be uncouth he heads down the toy isle to seek a replacement. He smiles and shakes his head at the stranger watching.
Calling after Mariah. Well do enjoy your gift, but my offer is a one time debut.
Knowing time is short he heads to the Meccano sets as a suitable alternate choice.
Mariah rushes to the cashier who looks at her in a very strange way. She quickly takes her purse and pays cash for the lego set....
She sighs while looking at all directions knowing that nobody can take away the toy for her nephew.
Heading back with his meccano set in hand he notes the stranger still staring at Marhiah.
Let me guess you were trying for that set also.
Shakes his head at Marhiah.
It will be one very determined man who takes her to wed.
Heads to the check out, then to more stores if any are open.
Leaving the store heading to his car he sees Marhiah and calls out.
Have a great night and I hope next time we meet it will be under more normal circumstances.
Heading out he debates if anything is normal in her life and what stores maybe open still that carry Leggo.
Mariah smiles and says thanks...she then goes towards her car and travel straight to her nephew's home.
She has a big smile on her face, knowing she was able to get the toy her little nephew always wanted.
I am glad all is over, says Mariah to herself.
She knocks the door of her sister's home and a beautiful red-headed little boy answers. He shouts "It's auntie Mariah!"
She quickly gives him the present and smiles when the little boy open his eyes in amazement. A lego! Yes! This is what I wanted!, he says. He gives a big hug and kiss to Mariah.
Her sister asks "Was it hard to get this lego set?"
Mariah smirks and says "Hard?, not at all. Nothing is never too hard to get for my nephew". She then smiles, waves goodbye and heads towards her home. Mission accomplished.
