Friday night on Agricola I stopped at the crosswalk seeing someone behind the telephone poll fidgeting for a cigarette. You had on a pea coat with a short fur trim collar. As you walked across the crosswalk lighting your cigarette and drawing from it and finally looking at me with the most genuinely happy and beautiful smile ever.
Glad I stopped, you made my night after an 8 hour shift.

Wow, this girl made your whole night just by lighting a cigarette and crossing the street??!! Your life must be shit and you are a creepoid.
Are you sure you didn’t meet a lady of the night, hmm.
Likely happy they didn’t get run over.
It was me!
Gosh, thanks.
