I decided about an hour ago that I want a new black and red hat.
I walked outside a moment ago and even though it’s dark outside what with it being in the witching hour, my eyes immediately flew and focused on a dark figure across the street.
I had a sense that it was the transient/homeless guy that I generally put my food spoilage to the side for every graveyard shift and I was right, though consciously there was no discerning features that gave him away, outwardly.
He came towards the store and I walked back in, grabbed the bag of stuff I had already loaded up in case he showed, and gave it to him. He thanked me with a smile and turned around
I went back in the store and was doing some ADHD crap and walking in circles, trying to remember what my purpose was (or if I had one at the moment
) and he comes into the store with a box.
He walks up to me and, smiling again, opens it and pulls out a red and black hat.
I blinked stupidly a couple of times, failed to process, took out my BT headphones and found the ability to think again enough to say, “Huh?”
He laughed and gestured towards me with the hat.
My eyes widened and I pointed my hand towards my chest, mouthing “for meeeeee?”
He nodded and I reached out, still a bit stunned.
I explained to him what I just said, about having decided I wanted a red and black hat just a bit ago and as I looked at the hat again talking about it, I noticed the bird emblem.
I fuggin’ love certain birds (I’m sure I’ve talked about Northern Mockingbirds and/or peregrines at least once here) so THAT almost broke me.
He nodded, smiled and walked away, saying, “I’m glad it worked out, then.”
Damnit…He hit me with a me move.
