Dannis was waiting at the airline ticket counter when he first noticed the young woman with shiny
black hair pulled tightly into a knot. She wore black
boots of soft
leather. Dannis struggled to see
her face, she was ahead of him in line, but it was not until she bought her ticket and turned to walk away that he realized her beauty, which was fair-skinned and big-eyed. She seemed aware that he was staring
at her and lowered her gaze abruptly.
When next he saw her, Dannis was buying a magazine and became aware someone was pushing him. At first, he was startled (受惊吓的) that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he saw who it was, he
smiled.
"Busy place," Dannis
said.
She looked up at him and blushed. Wordlessly, she moved away and joined the
crowds in the terminal.
Dannis was at the counter with his magazine, but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet,
the
pocket was empty. Where could I have left it? His mind was racing, the credit cards, the cash, the
identification card... "The girl who was so near to me!" he said to himself. All at once he understood
she had stolen his pocket. What
shall he do?
Dannis gritted his teeth. When glancing around for the police, suddenly, he spotted the
black-haired girl, seated against a
front window of the
terminal.
She seemed absorbed in a book.
"Where is my wallet?" he yelled. The black-haired girl glanced up from her reading, with a
confused look on
her face. Dannis glared at her and shouted, "You stole my wallet!" The crowds began to gossip. The girl turned deadly pale, looking so restless that words failed her. A strange silence hung in
the
air. Abruptly,
she leaped from the
seat and tried to escape
from the crowds.
Dannis grabbed her by the arm. At
exactly that moment, a policeman approached them and asked about what happened. Dannis hastened to explain it while the girl frowned
with a shake of her head. After further
enquiries, the policeman took out a wallet and handed it
to
Dannis, adding that someone
had found it in the
toilet.
