She stared longingly at the beckoning slice of dark chocolate cake at the display shelf. Her face scrunched up, eyes watering, she bit her lips really hard till they almost turned white. No longer being able to contain her excitement, she clasped her hands firmly and then turned to look at the stout figure next to her.
"Please....." she pleaded.
"No darling, that's not for you" he replied and walked away.
She knew that the answer would be as such but why couldn't she have it, she thought. Then as her eyes filled up with tears, she took one last look at the forgone chocolate cake, dreadingly, forsakingly, she trudged away.
