She looked at the package. Each one contained twenty-six diapers and cost fifteen dollars each. She picked up four packages and put them in her cart. In the aisle next to the one Nicole was standing in, baby wipes caught her eye so she strolled down the aisle to pick them up. She quickly found the baby lotion and threw some in the cart with everything else. Having acquired everything she thought she came for, Jessica headed towards the checkout. Standing behind a woman obviously shopping for a younger baby than she, Jessica spotted a pink pacifier with Minnie Mouse on it. She threw it into the cart, thinking it would be better for her than sucking her thumb every night.
As the woman in front of her pushed her cart away from the checkout, Jessica loaded her items onto the cart. She avoided eye contact with the cashier hoping she wouldn’t ask about the items. Her luck was running thin.
