Where's the Heart?

She didn't believe in bad luck: it was all just a strange coincidence. A black cat would cross her path and she saw it as the animal was going somewhere. A mirror broke and she saw herself spending money buying a new one. Walking under a ladder she didn't believe to be cursed either. Even though those things may not have caused it, the truth was, now her bad luck was just beginning.

Jade always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but she always got out of it alive. Like the time she got stuck in traffic when a parade was going on. Or that time she was at the bank when the robbery was starting. Even relative to the time that she lost her car keys in a lightning storm and had to wait it out until they could tow her Mustang.

But nothing compared to being in the wrong cafe at lunch time. Trying something new can always be the death of you and sometimes the experience just isn't even worth it.

Next time--if there is one--maybe Jade will just stick with the Java Hut down the road...
