Millie was in the kitchen, making a Ham Salad Sandwich for Dusty when she got a call.

Hello Millie?

Yes?

This is Luna from the Wave Cafe! A customer just left, and gave me a piece of paper with your number!

Oh!

Can you drop by, and sort out his bill?

Oh OK!

Thank you so much! - Luna Hung up!

Drats! This was going to upset her routine. Oh Well! Millie, placed the sandwich on a plate and covered it with plastic wrap.

If Dusty had already left the Cafe, he would be home soon anyway!

She ducked into her room, to freshen up. Smoothing her hair back, into a sleek bun, at the back of her head. She changed into a clean, plain dress. Checking her reflection, she shrugged. She looked a bit pale! Maybe she should try spending a bit more time in the sun!

Picking up her bag, she checked for Dusty's Credit Card. She would try to pay a fair bit in advance, if possible. Then she wouldn't need to go back again for a while!

She headed for the door! She would walk along the road side. Then she wouldn't get sand in her shoes. Also she didn't really want to run into Dusty, on his way home.

It wasn't because she didn't like Dusty! He was a great employer really! It was just that she didn't want to explain, where she was going! He might be annoyed at her for not keeping the Cafe account in credit.

Not that he would show it! He hardly even looked at her, let alone tried to converse. She wondered why she had even bothered to learn some Sign Language, as she had hardly had a chance to use it! But it had helped her to get this job!

The new neighbors had moved in last week! Millie looked over at the front of the house, and wondered who they were, and what they were like? Would they be the type to make a lot of noise at night? Throw a lot of rowdy parties?

One thing that took her interest was, the cute pink Camper Van, parked out front. It had been a dream of hers once, to travel around in a van like this. It must be fun!

The gardens were looking a bit better! Maybe the new owners were looking after them better than the last. Instead of dry brown wilted leaves, little green shoots were showing! Millie wondered what type of plants they were, as she walked past.

Millie entered the Cafe, to a jangle of the Door Bell. It looked empty! She guessed the lunch customer's would be heading in soon.

A beautiful girl, came out from the Kitchen. The new owner?

Hello! Are you Millie? - Luna smiled.

Yes! Um hello! - Millie replied. - Can I fix up, the bill for Dusty!

Are you his sister? - Luna couldn't see any resemblance but you never knew.

Millie sighed, so the previous owners hadn't filled in the new? - No, I am his carer!

His carer? - Luna was puzzled.

Um yes, you might not have noticed. Dusty is Deaf!

Oh! - Luna smiled - Oh, well that explains a lot!

Can I pay his account in advance? He will be in every morning, at 9am! Same order! A small Latte!

Luna nodded and smiled. - Yes, no problem!

There was something about Millie, that intrigued Luna. The girl seemed, shy and not very confident. But mostly she seemed lonely and sad. She hadn't smiled once!

Why did Luna care? Why? She didn't really know why!

Millie handed over the card! Then waited for Luna to organize an Account credit!

It only took Luna a minute to sort, but she kept hold of the card.

Luna was still holding the card. Huh? Millie looked up!

Luna was staring at her in an odd way! Those soft golden eyes, were gazing into hers. It was unsettling! Who had eyes that color? No-one! Well obviously someone, Luna did!

Millie's heart was flitting around! Strange!

Placing the card down on the counter, Luna slowly lifted her hands to cup Millie's face.

Millie's eyes widened.

You are so pale! - Luna brushed her thumbs across Millie's cheeks, circling a few times, until a pink blush formed. - That's better! - She removed her hands.

If Millie hadn't already been surprised, she was when Luna next did this.

Luna placed two finger's against her Peach Glossed lips, and kissed them. Then she turned her finger's pressing them to Millie's startled lips. - Peach suits you! - Luna smiled, picking up the card!

The Door Bell jangled then, as a customer came in.

Millie jumped! Snatched the card from Luna's hand, and dashed through the door before it closed.

What did you do to her? - Star asked with a smirk. Peeking his head around the Kitchen door.

MMm! - Luna wasn't too sure what had come over her. - What did you see?

Enough! She is not the type you usually like! Or is she a project?

Star?

Yes Sis? - Star grinned.

Get back to work!

He saluted - Yes Sir! - And went back to the Kitchen, with a laugh!
