Something sparked within you. Not a memory per se, but a feeling. A feeling of warm familiarity. A feeling that you shouldn't go home, that you belonged here. Why did you feel that way? You didn't know this woman, nor did you owe her anything outside of a business transaction that she had already paid in full. So why then did you feel compelled to stay?

(What do you decide?)
