(No, I didn't go nuts in a store or anything like that)

Mary and I took her brother back to Stratford to catch the train this morning so we decided to go to Masonville mall in London to try on some winter coats. After we finished that we were wandering around checking out some stores. Mary went into Bulk Barn to get some stuff and I was next door in The Source.

I was talking to the associate just outside of the store regarding BlackBerrys and I hear what I think is Mary's name mentioned over the PA system. I'm pretty sure I heard correctly so I head into Bulk Barn to let her know I heard her name. She's got some items already so I decide to head to customer service and see if I heard correctly.

On my way, the lady comes on the PA system again, and yes, it's definitely Mary's name and that she's to come to guest services located beside entrance #1. No problem, I head right there. I show up and say,

Me: "Hi. I heard Mary Fincher's name over the PA system. She's my fiance. Is there a message I can pass along?".
Her: "Oh, she left her credit card in a store."
Me: "Suzy Shier right?"
Her: "Yes."
Me: "Is the card here then?"
Her: "Yes. We just need her to come here with some photo ID to claim it."
Me: "No problem. I'll go get her and we'll come back in a few minutes. Thanks."

I went back to Bulk Barn and after Mary was finished we headed back there (about ten minutes later). She goes into guest services and I sit out on the bench just outside with the bags. Apparently, the lady called mall security (who was waiting there for me) in case I came back. Mary heard her say, "...and he said he knew the Mary Fincher girl and where she was." Mary spoke up and said that I was her fiance. The security guard left guest services and gave me a look on his way past the bench.

I guess she was just being careful.
