Until now, he had never been here. Antiques and candles didn't interest him much, and he heard things about Tami--about how she was totally psycho. It was because of this that he generally avoided her--maybe he had seen her around, but he couldn't recall having ever spoken to her. Oh, and he was sure he heard that she had a big, devilish dog that stayed with her in the shop, and if there was one thing Tucker didn't like, it was big, evil dogs. (Granted, he realized that sounded silly, for surely a dog of that nature wouldn't help attract customers, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to be wary, should the dog actually be here.) It was for those latter two reasons that he had protested his mom's request to go to the shop for her--she had gotten on some kind of candle kick recently and needed a new one. "Tucker, she isn't that bad," she had told him. Yeah, he'd see.<br><br>"Well, let's get this over with," Tucker muttered to himself before climbing out of his car. He entered the shop, taking only a couple of steps away from the door. While tucking his hands into the pockets of his North Face jacket, his blue eyes settled on Tami. "Hi," he greeted, flashing a polite smile, certain that the little bit of nervousness he had was well masked; being someone who enjoyed performing, he had learned to keep that under control. He took a quick moment to glance around the counter to see if her dog was around before returning his attention to her, watching her rather closely. "You have soy candles here, right?"

				<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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; “Hello.”&nbsp; She replied politely back.&nbsp; “How can I help you?”&nbsp; <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.&nbsp; Like with when she was in the car repair shop she knew speaking more kindly would be more helpful than her usual attitude.&nbsp; &nbsp;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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; “They are right here.&nbsp; Is there a peculiar soy candle you are looking for?”&nbsp; 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>

That could easily change within minutes. Catching her beckon, he followed, keeping a decent distance between them, and as he did so, he allowed his gaze to wander. He noticed the fireplace--and what lay in front of it. His muscles tensed slightly, but he then realized the dog was asleep, or was at least just laying there, so there was no reason to be wary. For now, at least.<br><br>His attention was directed to what lay beyond the doorway Tami was leading him through, and mild surprise passed over his face. "Whoa," Tucker said under his breath. He didn't expect so many candles or that there could possibly be such a high demand for them. When coming here, he expected this to be a fairly simple task--just pick from a handful and he'd be on his way--but an entire wall of soy candles definitely was not a handful. "Um," he uttered while scanning the shelves from where they stood. He looked back at Tami. Tucker had kind of intended to keep interactions with her short out of concern that she might blow up on him, but, deep down, past the nervousness, there had been a sense of curiosity about what she was like; he kind of wanted to see her do something crazy. It could be a fun story to share at work tonight--Hannah would get a kick out of it, at least. "Kind of. My mom said that she wanted something that smells something like summer. Have anything like that?"
