“He’s not getting the real one; I can’t believe people like that really exist,” she said looking at me.
Oops, I missed the chance to help.
I’m not friendly when I travel. The bubble closes and nothing will reach in. My mind narrows on a task. Frankly, I don’t want to socialize: I don’t want to talk or play card games. I’m a very bad traveling companion. You wouldn’t even want to tag along when I’m walking around the airport.
In fact, you could be a single woman who came off of the same AC8100 flight from Seattle I was on. You could be stuck in a very boring one-way conversation with a random guy (who also came off of that flight). Said companion even approached with the truly creative line: so, where are you going today? Sadly, you could be in line with him behind me at customs for 90 minutes; I wouldn’t notice.
To whoever you were, I’m sorry. It would have been easy for me to step in: my brain was elsewhere.

maybe the single woman absolutely adored being in a one-way conversation with someone who asked her where she was going…. maybe that gave her an excuse to start a conversation with you, maybe its like chinese whispers ‘go talk at someone today’ its possible….

“you could have helped me you know…” she then said.
