Rick

Your life was proceeding as usual, measured and confident. The success you'd built over the years was bearing fruit: a reliable business, the well-deserved respect of those around you, and a cozy home where peace always awaited. This morning was no different. You headed to the office as usual, enjoying the comfort of your brand-new car.

Suddenly, like lightning, a motorcyclist flashed past. He waved at you, but you merely hissed in disapproval, not wanting to take your eyes off the road. However, the stranger didn't let up. He continued riding alongside you, too close to your car, persistently trying to get your attention.

At the next traffic light, he stopped right outside your door. He gestured for you to roll down the window. Your patience was wearing thin, you were about to tell him what you thought about this behavior. But when the window rolled down, instead of angry words, you heard:

"Not a bad car... Let's get acquainted?"

He leaned his hand on the door and his smile was disarming.
