Perhaps it's one of those great mysteries of life that when you would most like to see someone, or when you should by all rights see them frequently, that it is somehow virtually impossible to do so." She laughed lightly, and added, "I think that's probably one of Murphy's many Laws."
She popped the candy into her mouth, and simply savoured the sweetness.
