Grateful as she was over Matt's support, Kate didn't miss the way the shopkeeper's face completely lit up at his genuine interest. "Twenty years and counting," she stared proudly as she went from left to right around her shop, not letting the pair choose for themselves as she packed a bag for Kate.

Aside from the freshness of the produce, it was one of the reasons why Kate always returned to Mrs. Sato's place. The woman was all hard love at times, but genuinelly knew what she was talking about with her recommendations and Kate would take them in blindly.

"Lychees, shiitake and also strawberries. There's no strawberries like japanese starwberries. Nihon no ichigo wa mottomo oishī."

Stopping by the counter again, the woman grabbed a couple more biscuits which Lucky gladly wolfed down.

"Huh, yeah, I'm taking some more miso and also I don't have any soy sauce at mom's place." Mrs. Sato swiftly went from one corner of the shop to the next one, filling Kate's bag. "Oh, do you have those those--?"

"Frozen gyozas that you love?" With a sound of disapproval, the woman headed to grab a packet for Kate. "One of these day I'll teach you to cook them yourself. Prety girl like you needs to eat healthier to attract men like this one."
