This story is well written. The main character here had an unexpected meeting. I'm thinking, like how does one carry on conversation with a stranger asking weird questions? If I were in this character's shoe, I'd walk away and pretend not to hear the lady. I must say he's a brave one to stop and listen to the lady and also give honest answers.
One thing though, first paragraph says, "...on a warm winter day." Can a winter day be warm? Nicely done! 🍀
It's all because of the global warming my friend :) thank you.
