The Station #6

by

A little girl was standing there. She couldn't have been more than 7 years old. She walked in alone saying, "Mommy?" over and over again.

Andrew got up and walked to her. He knelt down in front of her.

"Hello. What's your name?" he asked.

She looked at him warily, then said, "Elizabeth."

"Hi, Elizabeth. I'm Andrew and that's Zeke," he said as he pointed toward Zeke on the bench.

"Hello," she said in a frightened tone.

"Have you gotten separated from your Mommy?" he asked.

She nodded, wiping tears from her little eyes.

"Well, maybe we can find her."

    I’m not surprised she looked at him warily, with Zeke as a best friend.
