Chapter 14: No Deals
"Don't," I said.
"Don't what?"
"Don't put it on me like that. Like I'm the one choosing."
Lev looked at the keycard in my hand.
"You are the one choosing. It's your family's shop."
"And it's your life."
A man in a suit walked past us to the lifts and glanced at my apron.
I stood up.
"Not here," I said. "Not in his building."
We walked out into the sun and along the dock.
Soon there was water on one side of us and nothing of his on the other.
I sat on a bollard.
Lev stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets, like the night on Kirsty's step.
"Ask me what I want," I said.
"What do you want?"
"I want the bakery. I want Mum to sleep past five. I want Dad's sign to stay up." I held up the keycard. "And I don't want them bought with you."
"It's not your call to..."
"It's half my call. You're not a bag of flour he can trade for a lease."
