and as we were exiting the plane he gave us his address and told us we should come to his apartment to smoke and get drunk - we had absolutely NO intention of going, but we did the whole smile-and-say-maybe thing like scared women alone do, and we walked into the first bathroom in the airport
this probably 30-somethin' woman followed us into the bathroom and effectively started begging us not to go to that mans house, telling us we were smart and beautiful and that he was a jackass and we absolutely didn't need to prove ourselves to someone like that - she had been listening the whole time and wasn't gonna let us leave the airport at all without making sure we were safe



Ohhhh she's so amazingĀ
