Hal had seven items as she slowly approached Jitter’s line.

Not looking up, Jitter scanned items on the conveyer belt.

"Hey," Hal said sullenly. “I’ve been thinking a little bit…”

Jitter continued staring at the conveyer belt. "Oh? About what?"

Hal sighed. "I just wanted to..." Deep breath. "Apolo... apo..."

Jitter waited, watching an item ride the conveyer toward her.

Hal twitched with effort until it burst out. "I'M SORRY!"

"THANK YOU!! I'M SORRY TOO!!" Jitter yelled back, looking up.

Hal smiled a little. "Okay. Glad I got that out."

"Yeah. So am I." Jitter smiled back, scannig the items.

"Thank you," Hal said as she pulled out her wallet.

"It's my job." Jitter cheered, assuming it's for the items.
