It was a cold winter’s night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work．I was tired and had a slight
36 ．
I worked in a
37 doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run
38 than usual．It seemed I was going to be late
39 home and my husband, being the
40 person, would be ready to pronounce（宣布） me late once again．Maybe
41 I hurried, I could still make it home．
I was heading inside to
42 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter．I heard them asking for
43 to the local hospital．It was the same hospital that I had just
44 a few minutes ago．The young man at the counter was trying to be
45 in explaining how to get there, with two other people making 46 ．One of them was
47 trying to give them a whole different route back．It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to follow me to the
48 ?”
A look of
49 crossed the woman’s face．
“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a（an）
50 since I had just made up my mind to do
51 that．
I got in my car and began the journey back．I was trying to watch to be sure they were right
52 me．It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to
53 ．I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone．
Later, as I arrived home, my husband
54 , “So you aren’t ever late any more．”
I said, “Sometimes it’s
55 to be late．”
