Beautiful stranger

As I was walking home from the clinic headed towards the subway, I heard a female voice crying out.

"Hey! Hey, sister! Wait up!"

I turned around to find a girl running towards me. She was about 20. I have never seen her in my life. But when she called me "sister", it somehow touched my heart.

"Hey," she said. "Can you tell me how to get to the subway?"

"I'm also headed there," I told her. "Let's walk together."

"Okay, cool," she answered.

She was from out of town. She was headed to the subway to return to her hometown for the weekend.

We were going different places, but headed the same direction. So we ended up on the same train and sat side by side. We talked some more.

When the train arrived at my stop, I started to get up towards the door.

"By the way," the girl said. "What's your name?"

I told her. "And yours?" I asked back.

She only gave me her last name.

Cool chick.
