<div class="floatleft">(http://iwritealot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Emmy-Rossum-12.jpg)</div><strong>Tami Avalon</strong><br/>Tami was still staring at her phone trying to remember what she forgot to do that she needed the phone for that she missed the sound of a car pulling up.  Blowing a strand of loose hair from her face she finally realized that someone was there when she heard the front door open and close.  She noticed it was a guy only probably a few years younger than her and that confused her, she usually didn’t have many guys come into the store. She tried to gather whether or not this guy believed all that he heard about the rumors around town as he greeted her and gave her a polite smile.  “Hello.”  She replied politely back.  “How can I help you?”<br/><br/>Though normally she was rude and rough around the edges, Tami knew better not to use that manner when dealing with customers unless needed.  Like with when she was in the car repair shop she knew speaking more kindly would be more helpful than her usual attitude.   He did have good control over his nervousness as Tami didn’t even notice it one bit, though she did notice him looking around for Satan who was probably still napping in front of the fireplace.  She could feel him then watching her closely and that made her nervous though as she bit her lip as he asked about soy candles.<br/><br/>She nodded as she stood up and motioned him to follow her leading him to the room off the room of antiques.  It was a room filled with just candles of all types and Tami pointed to a whole wall of shelves filled with candles that was labeled as soy candles.  “They are right here.  Is there a peculiar soy candle you are looking for?”  Tami actually looked quite proud at her collection of candles and in that moment she looked more her age and not the angry individual she normally was from all the rumors.<br/>
