LOVE LOST, LOVE FOUND
The stranger had left me his number, had offered me a lifeline in case I needed it.
I folded the note up and put it in my pocket, feeling a sense of hope that I hadn't felt in a long time. Maybe, just maybe, things were going to start looking up for me. Maybe I had just met a true friend, someone who would be there for me when I needed them most.
As I sat up and looked around, I realized that I had no idea what time it was. I frantically searched for my watch, finally finding it buried under the stranger's jacket. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and focused on the time.
