Ivy saw a homeless man, Kurt, waiting near the train station and invited him to lunch. After hearing his story, she offered to buy him a ticket back home. Years later, she cried outside a hospital when a man approached her and said everything would be alright.
Ivy looked up and saw Kurt, and it made her smile.
“Let me buy you lunch and a warm cup of coffee. My friend’s train ride was delayed for five hours. I don’t want to go back home, and I hate eating alone,” Ivy told a homeless man she saw right outside the Cold Springs train station in New York.
She had been waiting for her friend to arrive from Poughkeepsie, but the weather had delayed everything.
Ivy started walking around the station, not knowing what to do, when she spotted the man in tattered clothes sitting on a bench. She decided to offer him a meal, and it would distract her from the long wait. The man looked up at her in shock and nodded his head rapidly.
He said that his name was Kurt and started walking.
“Let’s go to Bubby’s. It’s got great pancakes and burgers,” Ivy suggested with a smile and started walking. The man followed right beside her with his hands in his pockets to ward off the cold.
They arrived at the diner, settled down, and ordered quickly. Ivy started some small talk, but then she asked Kurt about his life.
“It’s a long story,” Kurt began with a sigh. “But the short version is that I came to this town to find a better job.
My parents didn’t want me to come here. We had a huge fight before I left. I yelled and told them I would never be back.”
