"Hey,Β I'mΒ soΒ sorryΒ butΒ we'reΒ actuallyΒ closed!"Β OnceΒ again,Β she'dΒ forgottenΒ toΒ lockΒ theΒ door,Β aΒ badΒ habitΒ she'dΒ fallenΒ intoΒ whenΒ goingΒ throughΒ theΒ motionsΒ ofΒ closingΒ theΒ storeΒ forΒ theΒ night.Β WithΒ theΒ sunΒ alreadyΒ setΒ andΒ mostΒ ofΒ theΒ lightsΒ alreadyΒ out,Β sheΒ hadn'tΒ expectedΒ theΒ softΒ chimeΒ ofΒ theΒ bellΒ aboveΒ theΒ doorΒ toΒ actuallyΒ ring,Β andΒ yetΒ thereΒ sheΒ was.Β ClosingΒ aloneΒ wasΒ alreadyΒ somewhatΒ unsettlingΒ (andΒ sheΒ didn'tΒ doΒ herselfΒ anyΒ favoursΒ byΒ readyΒ scaryΒ storiesΒ lateΒ atΒ night)Β butΒ sheΒ steppedΒ outΒ fromΒ theΒ backΒ roomΒ anyway.Β What'sΒ theΒ worstΒ thatΒ couldΒ happen,Β right?Β "Okay,Β look,Β I'mΒ notΒ meantΒ toΒ doΒ thisΒ butΒ ifΒ youΒ canΒ giveΒ meΒ aΒ reallyΒ goodΒ reasonΒ youΒ needΒ toΒ shopΒ rightΒ now,Β I'llΒ turnΒ theΒ tillΒ backΒ on.Β YouΒ haveΒ toΒ shopΒ inΒ theΒ dark,Β though.Β I'mΒ notΒ walkingΒ intoΒ thatΒ darkΒ storeroomΒ toΒ turnΒ theΒ lightsΒ backΒ on."Β SheΒ bracedΒ bothΒ handsΒ onΒ theΒ counterΒ withΒ aΒ grin.Β "ItΒ canΒ getΒ aΒ littleΒ creepyΒ backΒ there."
