To the Person Who Paid for My Drive Thru Order
I’m not sure what compelled you towards a random act of kindness. There are a few possibilities I’ve come up with. One, you just received a raise at work and had the cash to spare. Two, we’re at the beginning of a pandemic and a coping mechanism for you is to put as much kindness into the world as possible. Three, you looked in your rearview mirror and you could see me crying. Head tilted back, chest heaving, hands running over my blotchy face, trying to compose myself quickly before pulling up to the next window. I don’t have the answer and I never will.
