It was a cold winter’s night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I was tired and had a slight
16 .
I worked in a
17 doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run
18 than usual. It seemed I was going to be late
19 home and my husband, being the
20 person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe if I hurried, I could still _
21 __it home.
I was heading inside to
22 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for
23 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just _
24_ a few minutes ago.
The young man at the counter was trying to be
25 in explaining how to get there, with two other people making 26 . One of them was
27 trying to give them a whole different route back. It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to follow me to the
28 ?”
A look of
29 crossed the woman’s face.
“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a (an)
30 since I had just made up my mind to do
31 that.
I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right
32 me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to
33 . I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.
Later, as I arrived home, my husband
34 me, “So you aren’t ever late any more.”
I said, “Sometimes it’s
35 to be late.”
