“Can we take aisle 2?” she asked Harper, hoping it might help her figure out that odd feeling she had earlier. But it seemed luck wasn’t on her side. “Looks like Charlotte and Steve already started there,” Harper replied with a frown. “Why aisle 2?” she wondered curiously. “Did you spot a cute guy sitting there?” With a mischievous grin, she glanced quickly at Sandra and then turned her attention to aisle 2, trying to spot the guy she guessed Sandra had noticed.
“Oh no, that’s not it at all,” Sandra quickly interjected, trying to downplay her interest. “It’s really nothing.” Yet, Harper wasn’t convinced and continued to give Sandra that all-too-knowing look, her smile suggesting she saw right through the facade. Feeling the pressure to deflect further inquiry, Sandra adopted her most convincing tone and said, “It’s actually because of my lucky number, you know. Number 2… That’s the whole reason.”
