She hadn't even noticed the floating basket arrive to take over the duties of holding all of the books. If there was a zone, she was currently in it. Juniper heard Rhys agree to more suggestions, and she made a mental note. "Same number and address?" she asked, assuming it was. Thank Merlin that despite everything, she never felt the need to block him anywhere. That had only happened once to her, and with the lumbering oaf Chambers who couldn't catch a hint when she'd 'ended things' a year ago. Idiot. Then again, who had been the stupid one that allowed it to go on for as long as it had? Her. At least it was said and done with. Having work to fall back on made it easier to forget, especially when it didn't mean anything to begin with.
Juniper wanted to say that it wasn't a problem and that he was going to be fine when he thanked her and explained how nervous he'd been. Because she honestly didn't think he would be. This was a huge jump in commitment; one that she felt he would never make when they were dating. To her, that wasn't fair. But it also wasn't fair to blame it on a child that wasn't even born yet, and innocent to all of this. "You're welcome," she said, while looking at him intensely. "Just don't make it hard on her or Sage." She didn't think she needed to spell all of that out to him in the middle of the bookstore. He would understand what she meant by it.
