"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" Erasmi turned around slowly, rubbing his back where the shopping cart had bumped him. The woman who had nearly run him over was hopping on one foot, clearly embarrassed and wincing with every step.

Erasmi raised a hand to show he was fine. "No harm done. Are you alright?" He asked carefully, as he ovserved the woman holding her foot. 

The woman stopped hopping and looked up at him with a mix of relief and mortification. "I'm so sorry! I lost control of the cart and I swear I did try to catch it... But.. are you alright. It must've really bumped you."
