'Sorry!' said Mel. 'Look... you haven't seen a man in a ridiculous multicoloured jacket, have you?' The woman shook her head. 'No... have you seen a man in a ridiculous multicoloured scarf?' Mel shrugged. 'Wish I could help.' 'Oh, he'll turn up eventually,' she sighed. 'Probably with trouble not far behind.' 'Mine too!' grinned Mel. They looked at one another for a moment. 'Well, it was nice to meet you, but I really should find my friend...' the brunette said. 'Yes... good luck!' said Mel. 'You too,' said the other woman, and she was gone. Mel smiled a little smile to herself, and went on her way.
