Life just wasn't fair.
As she excited the attorneys office, Ami Mizuno smoothed down her brown skirt so that it lay half way between her knee and ankle and fixed her ivory blouse so that the collar wasn't in her face.
The people pasing by took no notice of her.
She had lived here for the last ten years, even after her divorce.
Thye were used to her hiding whatever looks she might have underneath a front of bookishness.
Big black framed glasses hid eyes that used to sparkle like the sea when sun shone on it,
brown suites with ivory blouses adequately hid any signs of a womans body while contriving to make her skin look like thin parchement,
unusual blue hair that no one knew the length of in an old style that even a preachers wife would have found as punishement.
All in all she looked like a throw back to the medieval ages, except for the laptop computer that never left her side no matter where she was.
The reason she had been at the attorneys office was that her mother had died leaving to her an apartment in the city which she had to occupy for a year before she got the precious material her mother had been working on.
As her mother was a scientist and she ws a dotor they had often collaberated on different projects and had come up with many cures for deadly diseases.
There latest cure was for the prevention of cancer but her mother befoer her death had put a clause on her getting it, hence the apartment.
Her best friend, Serena had just been diagnosed and she needed those notes.
As she walked home, it was almost as if she blended in with her surroundings so deep in though was she.
