Still wandering around the shelves, she come upon the gumball machines and a boy who looked about her age. Peeking over his shoulder to see what he was doing, Mia spoke very quietly. "They're the little bronze ones."
The girl might not have much money but she certainly knew what it looked like.
He turned with a bit of a start as his eyes grew wide, his defenses leaping up at what he thought was a phantom voice. It took him a split second to realize that a girl was standing behind him. A very pretty girl.
"Thanks." he grinned as he fished out the bronze coins and slid them into the machine. Turning the dial, he spied the girl from the corner of his eye as the gumball twisted its way out of the dispenser. He picked up the candy and handed it to her.
"For you Miss...?" he paused waiting to hear her sweet voice again.
