We rejoin our hero . . .
Sam, working as a reference librarian at the public library, gets off at 5:00. On a certain Thursday last May, she would have been gone a few minutes earlier if not for a certain woman with a persistent and time-consuming question. Both she and I are very grateful for this woman now.
When I got to the library, I mentioned to her that I would be in Houston that summer, and so not able to work at the library as I had thought I might. Sam mentioned that she was getting off in just a couple of minutes. On impulse, and without any particular plans in mind, I asked if she was busy that night. As it turns out, she was not, and I suggested we watch a movie together. She gave me directions to her house, and we agreed that I would come over a little later that night.
I went home and continued getting ready for my trip to Houston and Sam went home, cleaned up her house a bit, and washed a couple of weeks' worth of dishes that had accumulated in the sink. I brought with me the movie Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. On the way, I was trying to figure out if this was a date or if we were just friends watching a movie . . . or what.
I got to her door at about 7:00.
