Celeste's heart was pounding. But she soon realized that she might have overreacted.
She calmed herself down, collected her thoughts, and placed her umbrella in one of the stands outside of the convenience store.

He followed her into the store, placed the umbrella as she did outside, and picked up a shopping basket.
He followed her closely, afraid that she would disappear from his sight the very next second.
He noticed that Celeste had a shopping list with her.
Celeste headed directly towards the aisle that had sanitary pads.
