Conversation: Opening a door.

The other week I came into the vestibule of the main library at school and then was opening the 2nd set of doors to go in further when I saw an elderly (black) woman hobbling out, so I stepped back and kept the door I had just gone through open for her.

"Thank you so much!", she said slowly, in a creaky voice. "No one ever does that!".

"Really?", I said, laughing, hustling back to the first set of doors, which I then opened for her.  "Look!  It just happened again!".

She gave a laugh and smiled as she walked out, and the guard at the library desk told me that I probably made her day.
