There's obvious longing on Vanya's face, one that I understand well, and it's that reason that I decide to help her as best I can. That, and I'm still bored, and a quick glance at my watch reveals that I still have some time to kill.
"I'm friends with the owner! Well, he tolerates me. Come on." I open the door to usher Vanya inside, and then step into the shop after her. "Frankie! I'm back!"
"I haven't got any new stock in the past five minutes," Frankie says as he comes out from the back, looking annoyed to have been pulled away from his takeout pasta. Again.
"My friend here would like to try out that violin," I tell him, pointing towards the window. "And you know that you're gonna have to knock at least fifteen percent off of that price. It needs new varnish." Frankie gives me a flat look and I throw my hands in the air. "It needs new varnish!"
