As we were finishing our dinner, our waitress came back to our table. “Would you like some dessert this evening?”

I looked at Monika. “Dessert?”

“No, thank you. I’m very full.”

“Just the check, please.”

She looked at Monika’s half-eaten steak. “Would you like a box to take that with you?”

“Yes. It will be my lunch tomorrow. Thank you.”

I paid the bill, and we got up to go. “Thank you for dinner,” Monika said.

“Thank you for picking me up. A complete stranger.”

“It was my pleasure.”

A few moments later we left the restaurant. I walked her outside the hotel. I handed the valet a ten-dollar bill and the valet ticket. Then I said to Monika, “Hold on a minute. There’s something I want to give you.”

“I’ll wait,” she said.

I ran back into the hotel and retrieved my backpack from the bag check, took out some money, then went back outside. By the time I got back, Monika’s car had come and she was standing on the opposite side of the car looking for me.

“Sorry to keep you,” I said. “I wanted to give you this.” I handed her ten one-hundred-dollar bills.

She looked at the money, then back up at me. “What is this for?”

I smiled. “The bus.”
