The magical shop that she had grown accustomed to was a special cozy space, dimly lit and filled with the scents of spices.
Coco hummed, her nostrils getting assaulted by the smell of garlic and freshly baked bread.

Coco cleared her throat and called out to the merchant who owns the shop. "Mrs. Tani?"
Coco waited patiently for the merchant to come out and greet her, her eyes scanning the shop for any signs of life.
