Claire: hello sir thank you.

(without a word he nods his head and motions his hand for her to sit)
Claire: thank you.
Claire: (thinks to herself) I feel so empty. I can't believe I lost my favorite patient today. I don't want to be alone tonight.

Stranger: "You are never alone Claire. Don't let your heart be in despair." (He grabs her hands and pulls her sleeves up, he looks at her scars.)
Stranger: "No more pain Claire" (he says)
(Claire gasps )
Bus driver: Hey maam! this is your stop right, I can't wait too long.
Claire: yes coming! Sorry
