“Were you involved in an accident three years ago?” Naturally, the woman didn’t respond at first. She looked at him for a long moment. Mason repeated his question, this time slower and with more sensitivity. A tear rolled down the woman’s cheek. Finally, she answered, “Yes…” Mason couldn’t believe his ears. But he was running out of time?! He had to be back at the retreat in 12 minutes.
He had so many questions for her, but he wouldn’t have time to ask them all. He weighed his options but realized that if he returned later than expected and gave this encounter as the reason, everyone would think he had lost his mind?! Fortunately, Mason had a plan.
