Miss

"Excuse me, Miss. Could you scoot down? You're a little too close." I ask.

She replied succinctly, "Of course. You need only ask."

"Thank you," I say, believing the conversation had ended there. This woman was an odd one, most people don't talk like that. Additionally, it was odd to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with a stranger at a bus stop. But before you could contemplate this stranger, she speaks up.

"Excuse me, but, may I ask who you are?"
