A Strange Man

Brittney looked around and noticed a man looking straight at her. Meanwhile, her mother parked the car and asked her which section she would like to go first. The little girl’s mind diverted from this man but not his. Georgeann had no clue about this strange figure staring at her daughter from a distance. 

Either Toys Or Cards

Georgeann knew her daughter’s favorite sections, Brittney would either rush to the toys aisle or to the greeting cards aisle. It was their forever routine and Georgeann happily used to follow her daughter to these sections. Sadly, that particular day was going to be everything but regular.

Perfect Memory

Georgeann always supported and happily participated in Brittney’s fun games which included pretending she was about to buy all the clothes she tried on, then she’ll accessorize it with some tacky jewelry and giving a name to the best toy in the aisle. This time of the year, Wal–Mart has special decorations and it was supposed to be fun there. 

Love Day

Once done with the clothing section, Brittney took a shortcut to the greeting cards section. After all, Valentine’s day was around the corner and there were more than usual cards in bright colors. The ceiling was covered with big red balloons and there were flowers all around. Georgeann found it all very normal knowing her daughter’s interest in craft and checking out the new stuff.

Poetry

Yes, Brittney looked at everything curiously but she never insisted on buying useless stuff. She used to stand in the card aisle, reading aloud the poems so that her mom could hear from a distance. Georgeann too used to pick up the brightest of the cards and read the inside poem to her daughter. The mother used to take pride in the fact that Brittney was teaching her new ways of enjoying life.

Not The Only Ones

Obviously, there were other customers in the store too but that didn’t stop the mother-daughter duo from their fun activities. They were busy in their own little world without caring about who must be looking at them and what anyone must be thinking of them.So, it was natural that Georgeann didn’t notice that someone was keeping an eye on them.
