One morning, Sarah realized she was out of milk, so she grabbed her shopping bag and rushed to the supermarket. On her way, she spotted her friend Emma walking toward her.

"Hey, Emma! What are you up to?" Sarah asked.

Emma smiled. "I’m just heading to the store. I ran out of milk this morning."

Sarah laughed. "That’s exactly why I’m going, too!"

The two friends decided to walk together. When they got to the supermarket, they went straight to the dairy aisle, only to find a single bottle of milk left on the shelf.

They looked at each other in surprise. "Well, this is awkward," Emma said with a grin.

After a pause, Sarah laughed. "I guess we’ll have to share!"

They bought the bottle together and joked all the way home about their "milk mission." It seemed the universe wanted them to have coffee together that morning!
