"Beautiful lady, could you help me out?"

The voice, aged yet distinctly feminine, caused me to snap my attention upwards.

There stood an elderly woman, her hair a silver testament to her years, eyes brimming with a plea.

"How may I assist you?" I responded, my tone laced with courtesy.

"Oh, dear, I was hoping you might treat me to a cup of coffee. I haven't had the luxury in quite some time due to my finances," the woman's words, unexpected, stirred a sense of compassion within me. Without a moment's hesitation, I nodded, "Of course."

"Thank you, you beautiful soul," the woman expressed, gesturing towards my seat, "May I join you here for the coffee?"

In for a penny, in for a pound, I thought to myself. Having agreed to the coffee, inviting her to sit seemed only natural.
