Anyone. He'd have given anything for anyone else to come around the corner. The patch of black ice that slicked the corner just outside his store glimmered up at him like a sick, sick joke. "Hey, hey -- wait..." and yet, all too soon, Carmen slipped and his hands flew out, pulling her toward him to avoid her falling, - even if steadying her, put them both rather precariously upon the ice. "shit.. -- okay, I didn't really think this through."
