Hannah, feeling he was asking just to pass the time while waiting for her to finish the final touches on his gift, answered nonchalantly, "I love books, so I often spend time in the library or one of our local bookstores. The cinema is nice if there's something new playing. When the weather cooperates, I enjoy going for walks."  Sad that their time was limited to a transaction, she processed his payment and handed him the neatly wrapped gift in the store's signature bag.  "Maybe the next time I see you it'll be to help you with a box of chocolates for your sweetheart?" She couldn't help herself, wanting to know if he was dating someone. Hearing it from his lips would help her get over him that much faster.
