I am putting together an Easter basket with someone but it
is not my priority. When it is finished,
admittedly not very well done, Patricia comes out and wants to take the basket
somewhere and insists I join her. I am
confused but also glad she wants me to go with her but, in the car, I notice
the handle on the basket is broken. There’s nothing we can do and Patricia is
stressed out. When we arrive where we
need to be, I get out of the vehicle. We
are parallel parked so I am climbing out into traffic. It’s a tight squeeze for me and my door taps
a dark green older car. The driver, an
older African-American man, assures me that it’s fine. Patricia grabs the basket and starts getting
upset when she sees the handle, accusing me of not caring and telling me to
wait for her. I don’t mind that I’m not
going in with her because I expect it will be too Christian for me so I wander
off. While there someone says he just
received a text saying his home is gone and he needs a place to stay. Without a moment’s hesitation, I assure this
young man that we have a guest room and he has a place to stay. I then start to call Rob but, as we are
talking the phone, the call is dropped. We
call one another back more than once and I still don’t manage to tell him the
news about our guest. Still, I reassure
the young man that he has a place to stay.
As I go to try to call Rob again, Sam comes up to me and she says, “I
figured it out. I used to think you were
nice but I think you just want to be liked.”
She’s obviously drunk and I try to extract myself from the situation.
