A friend once told me about a day when he went to grab his usual morning coffee at a local café. As he approached the counter, he realized he had forgotten his wallet. Embarrassed, he was about to leave when the person behind him offered to pay for his coffee. Surprised and grateful, he accepted the kind gesture.

They ended up sitting together, and what started as a simple act of generosity turned into an hour-long conversation. By the end of it, they had exchanged numbers and planned to meet again for coffee the following week. It was a small moment, but one that reminded him how unexpected kindness could lead to new connections.
