"Excuse me sir, would you happen to know if this is the bus that passes Ithaca?"
He turns around, a look of surprise crossing his face, then he smiles. "Yes, that's right. Unfortunately the bus is late, as always."
It's freezing cold, with a nasty wind blowing. He's definitely not dressed for this kind of weather, he seems to be freezing.
"Do you want my jacket? I'm warm enough without it and you seem to be freezing." My small sized jacket might not fit him but still would be better than nothing.
He's hesitating, but a gust of ice cold air makes his decision easier.
"Yes, that would be very kind. I'm David."
"Nice to meet you, David. I'm Sara." He dons my jacket and we shake hands.
The bus is nowhere in sight.
