This is a true story which happened to me several years ago. It still makes me smile and although I see this special lady occasionally it has not happened again.

I had a short term job working for a training firm in my home town. People had applied for the training to make themselves more employable in an upcoming job fair. As the students filed in one afternoon I saw a few people I knew including Leena a beautiful brunette I had known all my life. She was divorced now and living in a small house in town. We chatted for a while until the instructor came in and got started. My job was to set up the classroom and ensure all the manuals and training materials were in place. From time to time I had to get additional materials as the class was overbooked. Finally, the class ended and all the students left with a nod or a wave.
As I was cleaning up I noticed that Leena had forgotten to take her manuals home with her. They were absolutely necessary for the job fair and I was somewhat surprised but noted that she had written her name address and telephone number inside the cover. I called her and informed her that she had left her training materials in the classroom.
"Damn" she said. "I got a lift from a friend and my car is in the shop until tomorrow. Do you think you could drop them off on your way home tonight?"
"Ok" I said "but I am working till 5:30 or so, is that OK?"
She said that would be fine and she'd see me then.
