Wow, what a story! Serendipity can really shake things up, huh? Ever feel like fate just drops a person into your lap? It's amazing how a random meeting can change everything. Reading this makes me think of that time my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. It was a total nightmare until a kind stranger, a mechanic, stopped to help. We ended up chatting for hours while he fixed it. That unexpected act of kindness, much like your bookstore encounter, was a lifesaver. It's funny how life's little Slope Game moments can lead to unexpected blessings.
