Ben was aware the woman was still standing behind him and it took a long time before he heard a soft "ahem, Sir, may I have a moment of your time please?"
Ben turned around and the tiny woman would have gotten an imprint on her nose from the buttons on his shirt front, if she hadn't been agile. It bothered him that she was so close into his personal space, but he couldn't back away, the bin of green beans prevented his escape.
"I would like to make arrangements to book a fishing trip please," her reasonable and friendly voice was very removed from the brash and strident tone of a few minutes ago.
"Alright," Ben tried to be as reasonable as she was projecting. "Tell me what days you have open," he invited.
