I thought she was going to look up into the face of a handsome man who would offer to buy her a coffee and that would be her new beginning. However, I liked your ending better than the romantic one I had anticipated. The theme of caring for a stranger was more powerful. Happy New Year, Lee.
With pleasure, I am present at your writing, happy new year, may it always be the best.
Wishing you the best in 2026!
Same to you, A.C. Keep up the good fight and write, write, write! :-)
Happy New Year, and thanks for a good story. The small kindnesses we do can have consequences we’ll never know.
You are so right. I hope we all experience more small kindnesses throughout 2026.
Happy New Year, Lee!
Same to you, YV!
Brava, Ms McKenzie.
Hello, Dear Reader! So glad you enjoyed my first post of 2026.

Thanks, K.C. I’m never sure about those endings. Here’s to a year of good writing and sharing it with others.
