Oh, it was bold.
In the bright light of day with people watching. She cried and my heart went out to her. I enveloped her in an encouraging hug, patting her back. I was stunned to realize later that it was a ruse to allow her access to the bag slung over my shoulder. She reached in, shamelessly grabbing my Butterfinger bar. Without remorse, and with a strangely out of place twinkle in her eye, she thanked me and ran off.
All's fair in love and Butterfinger? Happily, I say yes to that as I am watching her. Ever watchful. For an exposed Butterfinger that will be mine.
