((bags of water pellets (and other salt used in things besides food, are normally kept outside. People just purchase indoors then pick up the bags from outside to load onto the car or truck.))

Jephthah, while only four inches shorter than Nadia's father and close to as fit (without some of the muscle), he was still scared of him for two reasons: one, Jephthah knew he was nowhere near as strong, and two, Ndai's father always glanced at him coldly whenever seeing him around her. He could not help but smile more genuinely on the inside at the sight of Nadia's smile. It was so sweet and beautiful.

He nodded as he was asked if he was there to help. From there, he loaded the bags that were there onto the cart and pushed. He could not help but glance in Nadia's direction and grin before looking in front, again. Once the bags in the cart were placed in the car, we went over to where the 40 lb bags of salt were placed -which was next to a wall- and picked up three of them prior to loading them in the back of the vehicle. "Well, there you go." Glancing over to Nadia, he said, "My shift ends at three, so if you want to do anything today, you can call me after that."

Jephthah wanted to hug and kiss her so badly, but he knew it would not be appropriate during work, so he made do with a wave while saying to both her and her father, "Have a good day!" With that, he went back inside to see the carts there were not going so speedily. Well, that makes things easier.

Abdas listened to what Stella said and nodded. That is partially true, though there are demons which are not seen by humans due to invisibility, which make up quite a bulk of their forces. That is part of the reason humans find it hard to resist the urge to sin. Bon Bon squeaked from inside his pocket, as if reassuring Abdas it will be all right.
