There's a girl in a hoodie in queue ahead of me and I stand at a respectful distance behind her. Said girl, removes her hoodie and runs her fingers through her damp hair and fluffs it heavily closing the space between us! I'm blinded for a second by a tornado of reddish chocolate brown curly hair that is sprinkling droplets of rain water on my face!
