Blinded by the light

It was the heat of a harsh midday and this beautiful woman wondered why some guy was pointing a camera in her direction. "Hello," I said. "Huh?" she said back.

I really wanted to ask her to join me for an iced tea, but had to rush off to a meeting. She has a story that I will probably never know. I find it difficult to be authentic in these situations because I don't want to intrude, especially when I have limited time to engage in conversation. It's a hang up that I'll continue to work on, though.
