I was in a hurry as always, but this time
it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for! A PhD student without
a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.
I found myself at a checkout counter 1 an elderly woman who was going to pay for her
groceries. The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She
smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and comforting-and I smiled back.
"It must be a special lady to get
those beautiful flowers," she said.
"Yes, she's special," I said, and
then to my surprise, the words kept 2
"It's only our second date to meet,
but somehow I am just having the feeling she's the one'. " Jokingly, I
added, "The only problem is that I can't figure out 3 she'd want to date a guy like me. "
"Well, I think she's very lucky to
have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is clearly in love
with her," the woman said, " My husband used to bring me flowers
every week-even when times were 4 and we didn't have much money. Those were unforgettable
days; he was very romantic and-of course-I miss him since he's passed away,"
I paid for my flowers as she was5her groceries. Almost immediately, I
walked up to her and said," You were right, you know. These flowers are
indeed for a very special lady. " I handed her the flowers and thanked her
for such a nice talk.
It took her a moment to realize that I was
giving her the flowers I had just bought. " You have a wonderful evening,"
I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart6as I saw her smelling at the beautiful
flowers.
I was a it late for my date that night and
told my girlfriend the above story. She smiled. Two years later she told me it
was that night that I won her heart.
