Unable to stand the eyesore of a sight, Cordy strode out of the planetarium to wait.
It was a huge science center, and each section had many stalls for snacks and merchandise.
Cordy soon grew bored from waiting, and headed outside a stall to pick a cone ice-cream.
But while she waited, she was left breathing a deep sigh as she realized there was no shaking off certain people.
"I want some ice-cream."
"No, you just had it last night. Your stomach would suffer if you had more," Lucas said sternly.
"I hate you!"
"Be nice, and I'll take you to the amusement park later."
Lucas was coaxing his girlfriend as if she was a child. One must admit that Lucas treated his girlfriend well, even if he was harsh towards everyone else.
It was clear how protective Lucas was of her, too.
Just as Cordy was about to leave with her ice-cream, the girl stopped her again. "Excuse me, pretty lady!"
Cordy wanted to tell her that they had only met by chance, which made them strangers; and strangers didn’t have to go out of their way to greet the other.
Just keeping quiet and walking past each other was just fine.
"What a coincidence." Cordy forced a smile.
"See? She's having ice-cream too," the girl complained unhappily.
"She's her. You're you."
"We're both women!" The girl pouted.
"Be good," Lucas said sternly.
"Fine…" the girl nodded reluctantly.
