A friend once told me about a time when she was at the airport, waiting for her delayed flight. With a few hours to kill, she decided to grab a coffee and find a quiet spot to read. As she settled down with her book, a stranger nearby asked if she could watch his luggage for a moment. She agreed without thinking much of it.

After a few minutes, the man returned, thanked her, and struck up a conversation. They ended up talking for nearly an hour, sharing travel stories and recommendations. Although they never exchanged names or contact details, she left feeling unexpectedly uplifted by the random connection. Sometimes, even brief encounters with strangers can leave a lasting impression.
