It is cold outside. It’s not the bitter cold where each step that you take makes you feel that you know just exactly what a glacier feels like. No. The sun is shining and there’s only an occasional breeze. It’s quite bearable if you’ve bundled up or have something from Starbucks in hand.
For one Kate Cordello, however, hot chocolate has not been needed to make today’s weather bearable. She has spent the day shopping. The first part of the day shopped around for an apartment. After having lunch she turned her attention toward shopping of the Christmas kind. She doesn’t have many people to buy for but she is a bit anal with her gift selection. Kate’s very picky and the gifts have to be perfect.
Currently, she’s walking toward another shop when a street vendor catches her eye. Hot chocolate suddenly sounds very tempting so she walks over to the cart and orders a cup. It’s when she’s struggling to get her money out of her purse when the snatcher runs by her. When it’s grabbed her arm is nearly dislocated from the force. Kate gets spun around and takes a couple of seconds to realize what just happened.
She doesn’t think. She just reacts and starts to chase the thief down the crowded streets in her Jimmy Choo shoes.
This is possibly not one of her better ideas.
