Sells all kinds of hardware, but lots of flashlights and batteries.

Kitty walked into the hardware store, needing another flashlight. She used them up a lot, since she liked to take frequent walks around October. Then again, so did Sadie and Alexander. Kitty was buying flashlights for them too.

Kitty grabbed a packet of batteries and turned around quickly, bumping into Milo. "Aah!" she exclaimed, pushing him away and looking startled. "I, uh, um, er..." she stuttered. Should she apologize for bumping into him and pushing him? It had been an accident, obviously.

"Oh, uh, yeah...ditto!" Kitty said nervously. She really wasn't sure what to say, she felt very embarrassed. "I, um was getting flashlights and I turned around and you were there and all the space between us disappeared but I didn't realize, and, well, not all the space, but, uh..." She rambled.

"Kitty?" Kitty said, as though it was a question. She took his hand and shook it awkwardly. Her cheeks were still red. She wasn't sure why he was introducing himself. Maybe that was the normal thing to do in this kind of situation?

"Uh, yeah, too you! I mean, you too! Soooo, what are you looking for here? I mean I'm not an employee but I'm here tons so I could help! Or something!" Kitty said.

"Oh, uh-huh. Like flashlights? There's lots of different kinds of flashlights. And barrettes. Batteries." Kitty said. "Lots of great hardware store things!" Why was she still being awkward? Kitty didn't know. She couldn't help it.

"Right. Always need more flashlights. Thanks to the dark. It's a waste of batteries, really!" Kitty exclaimed. "And am I being funny right now, because you're smiling a lot?"
