"It doesn't work the way we expect it to work."

We were 2 strangers sitting at a distance from the main camping ground. I was there for some much-needed solitude while the other campers were having a bonfire and some fun time. I didn't feel her presence for some time until I smell a cigarette and even then I ignored her but suddenly, she stood up, took her clothes off, and walked into the Ganga's stream flowing a few inches away from us until she reached the near to the middle of the stream. She set into the water submerging herself. Seconds later, a silhouette emerged and she walked out of the water. She dressed up and set on a boulder near the river stream. She took out another cigarette. I got up and walked to her to borrow one if she had any more. Once I reached the boulder, I saw her face.
She had expressions that I was very familiar with, so instead of asking to borrow a cigarette, I said, "It rarely works as we expect it to work."

She looked at me confused.
"Here take this.", I offered her beer....
