Yesterday morning I went to my weekly Pilates class and spotted a classmate who did
not come to the class for a long time. I caught up with him after class and mentioned to him about my book.
He said he needed to leave the gym soon and I urged him to wait for me at the locker room upstairs (there are 2 in this particular gym and I happened to “settle” down at the one downstairs). I then ran as fast as I could and returned with the promotional postcard of my book in my hand. He was already stripped down to only towel on his waist and ready to take a shower. I quickly handed over to him my postcard firmly yet politely and made sure that he reopened his locker and put it in before I waved goodbye saying “See you next week.” He replied, “I am not sure if I will come back (to the class).”
