As she turned and started to walk away, he couldn’t help thinking about how enigmatic she was. Winston Churchill’s quote about Russia, “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma,” came to mind, and he thought it sounded just like her. She was so unpredictable. Try as he might, he had never been able to tell what she would say or do next, and it frustrated him.
Watching her walk away, he suddenly realized that, despite be frustrating, he very much enjoyed the challenge of figuring her out and he’d be happy to keep trying for the rest of his life.
He quickly ran after her.
