Excitement runs through my body as I get ready to tell henry about the job opportunity, its the kind of happiness that almost feels too good to be true, the kind that fills your heart with warmth and mind with good thoughts,
Seeing a person's face transform into pure and utter bliss is important to me, happiness is contagious...if you're happy in a room full of people you will spread that joy around the room as if it were the flu, not that you would want to associate happiness with the flu.
Rounding the courier I see henry hunched over, his knees to his chest as he shivers, my heart constricts at the sight wanting nothing more than to make sure he doesn't have this struggle any longer, no one should have to endure this struggle, no one should have to sleep outside in the cold,
"Hi Henry" I quietly note as I come up to him, hoping to not scare him
"Hello sweetheart, how are you today?" His smile is big and genuine as he watches me come closer
I return the smile, hiding the pain I feel seeing him all cold and alone outside
"I'm doing pretty good henry, thank you for asking, how about you?" I smile as my eyes travel down his body to his outfit of a torn-up shirt, jeans with too many holes in them, shoes that are badly beaten up, and a jacket he bought with the money I'm assuming Aaron or I gave him, he's also wrapped up in a blanket that I got him the first time we met, I internally smile feeling like it was meant to be that I noticed him that day that I did,
I just hope that I'm able to do enough to change his life for the better
"I'm pretty good" he gives me a smile with a slight nod that doesn't quite convince me of his words
"I wanted to talk to you about something if that is okay with you," I say with some Hesitance in my words
"Of course, you can talk to me about anything," he says with a confident nod
"Alright well I hope this was okay for me to say and I'm sorry in advance if it wasn't, but my friend and boss Aaron saw me upset and asked why I was sad and I told him about you, and a little about your daughter, and I understand I had no right to tell him something so private and I'm sorry once again..." I tell him all in one breath trying to get everything out as fast as I can
"Was it that same man that you were with that night you came to me?" He asks a calmness in his voice as he speaks
"Yes" I nod slowly
"It's alright...I can tell that man has a big heart and he likes you that much is obvious, it's actually the way I used to look at my wife when we were both in love" he grins big as he looks at me
