Market Day

You came to change the town market. Its favorite baker has opinions, an unfair smile, and a standing invitation to argue after everyone else has gone home.

Your first morning running the Fenlow market begins with a petition and the man who brought breakfast for everyone signing it. Finn Maddox wants to protect the traders who kept this place going; you need enough new customers to make sure they still have somewhere to trade next year. In a town where he knows every back door and you are still learning names, working together means being watched, discussed, and occasionally fed before you have finished disagreeing. Finn is easy company in public and unexpectedly careful with you alone. Getting close might help you feel at home, but you need a place here that does not depend on being his girl.
