‘ ‘ i just want a nice, easy life. what's wrong with that? ’ ’ she usually did not complain. she was very good at gritting her teeth and getting just through it somehow, but there were times when life was too unjust and too cruel for her to ignore. like right now --- all that had gotten her through the day had been the thought of ice cream and now her favourite sort of ice cream was out.

       ❝ oh, i love that ! i did sort of expect yulan to come by, mind you ! he does love art. ❝ he beamed both at the display and the one pointing at it, bright and content. ❝ it shows ! that sounds lovely, we could have you over for tea, or visit a coffee shop ! ❝

‘ ‘ oh, absolutely. i do kind of feel like a child must when the entire family comes to see the school play. ’ ’ she spun them both around and excitedly pointed towards one of the displays. ‘ ‘ i worked weeks on that alone so i haven’t been out and about for ages. but i’m awake during the day now so we should get around to catching up. ’ ’

       ❝ ‘scuse, ma’am ? ❝ he blinked, fiddled briefly and went to kick about some water– given he was still very much stood in the water, not at all minding wet socks, shoes or trousers. ❝ it’s warm, not like i mind a bit of water in this weather ! and, your shoe’s already wet, and it’s a nice shoe from what i can tell, so there’s no need to get both wet. ❝

      he stood there, the picture of a man with nothing to lose, and with fountain water halfway up his calves, and peered at her scarf with utter confusion. ❝ eh ? it’s no harm done, ma’am ! it’s actually sort of refreshing, ❝ he chimed, beaming a smile at her, but wafting a hand about to dismiss the scarf. ❝ you’ll want to keep that one dry and clean, really, it looks right lovely ! ❝

       ❝ oh, ‘course, ma’am, no bother at all, ma’am, ❝ he chimmed gleefully as he was caught on his casual wander, and promptly turned toward the fountain. without hesitation or preparation, he took the first step right into the water, worn shoes and trousers and all, and waded about and over to where the shoe was, fishing it out and moving back to offer it to the woman. ❝ there you are ! ❝

       ❝ so we do, ❝ she chimed back, offering her own easy, sleek smile in return. ❝ it does almost seem as though we live in the same city, doesn’t it ? ❝

‘ ‘ so we meet again. ’ ’ theresia’s voice was upbeat as she clung to the box she was carrying and her face mirrored the smile in her voice. ‘ ‘ fate is once more working in mysterious ways. ’ ’

theresia had been wearing heels for almost as long as they had been in fashion for women. she was good at running in them, but even she had her off days. she was not sure how it had happened exactly but she was sitting on the fountain’s edging, her head leaning against her knees. ‘ ‘ ---hate to bother you, sunshine, ’ ’ she sighed as she looked up, ‘ ‘ but is your arm long enough to fish my shoe out of the fountain? if it’s not, i’ll have to go for a swim. ’ ’
