Cursed or just bad luck

Correction!

The man was not smiling but smirking at her. Her dream had drastically changed into a nightmare as the last person she wanted to see in this lifetime stood just a few feet away.

She had to blink twice and even dig her nails into the skin of her palms to be sure that she was awake. Unfortunately, she felt the pain, and the man remained like a terrible apparition before her.

"I think you are asking the wrong person. I am not interested." She responded with a furrowed brow. She was not hiding her distaste for the man. "Why don't you move along and find someone else to bother."

She suddenly wished she had powers that, with a snap of a finger, she could make him go away or disappear in a cloud of smoke. Sadly, she could only face him with her human strength and courage.
