Edmond's phone rang, unknown number on the screen. Edmond did not mind it at first as he was driving. Then it rang again. Still unknown number. He put his earpiece on and answered the call.
"Hello, is this Edmond?" said the other line.
It was a female voice that Edmond did not recognize.
"Yes. Who is this?" he replied.
"Hi Edmond. This is Val. I'm the girl you helped in the bus, do you remember?"
Edmond had a sudden urge to pull up the car so he can talk to her properly. Excitedly, he replied:
"Why yes, of course. How are you. Are you ok? Did that guy bother you again?
Val answered: "I'm alright. A little shaken about what happened but now I'm fine."
"That's good to hear". Edmond responded.
"I got your number from Michael". (common friend of Edmond and Val)
There was a short silence then Val asked shyly:
"Hey, are you free anytime soon?"
"I wanted to invite you for coffee to personally thank you".
