    The liquid ran down my face, soaking my clothes and spilling over the shopping bags. I stood completely still. For a moment, I couldn't even speak. The handbag was wet. The dress was wet. The cake packaging was stained with the drink. I looked down at everything I had carried so carefully. Then I looked at Vanessa. "Why would you do that?" She folded her arms.
