Seeing the homeless man before
Mary also hadn’t met this man for the first time. He had been waiting on that route for at least a few weeks by this point, and she always took the same route to work.
But this was the first time she showed him kindness. She had no clue how frequently others would act in a similar manner.
Waiting for her
The fact that he had been holding off on giving her this message was also obvious. She had simply left her office complex to make a private phone call and have a cigarette.
The homeless man approached her at that point and swiftly placed the letter into her hand.
