Luck and manners

“Hey,” a voice said behind me. It was a soft voice, as if pleading or asking. I turn around, a little paranoid, and calm down when I see it’s the same woman again. “Um, could you walk me there please? I think I might get lost again.” Whatever, I thought as I shrugged. I’ll do it. As we talked, I found out that she’s in the field that I want to be in. She makes it to the location and I turn to leave. “Wait.” She shakes my hand and reaches into her pocketbook. Wow, she’s going to tip me or something, I thought. Great. “Take my card. I expect to see you in two days, first thing in the morning. Thanks again.”
