I had been working for about an hour

When there was a knock on my door

I was staying at The Hotel Paris

Coffee

I needed a coffee

I had ordered a coffee

But when I answered the door

A woman in a beige coat stood in front of me

Are you a doctor

No I am an architect

Then you will do

I have had an accident

I have cut my knee

The woman then revealed her bloody knee

Are you naked under your coat

Yes I am

Why it is November

That is easy

Easy

I never wear clothes under the coat

Even during the winter months

Why

If I fall as I did today then I will not stain my fine clothes

With blood

Blood

Yes you tend to bleed if you fall

I think that is very logical

My coat although quite fine is old

I purchased it in a market

It has seen better days but is quite modest

I went to my bag and opened my medical box

I have antiseptic and a bandage

If you put your leg onto the Louis chair then I will treat you

You are a good man Phillip

Thank you

How did you know my name

I have been following you

Following me

I always do when you visit Paris

Why

Because I know that if I ever fall over a bench in a large park

Because I know that if I ever fall over a bench in a large park that you will treat me

Anybody decent would do that

How decent are you

What is decent

A man decent enough to let me share his hotel room without expecting anything in return

A man decent enough to carry a medical box in his luggage

There it is finished

Thank you

I would change the dressing this evening

Phillip

Yes

May I have a bath

The bathroom is over there

If you do

I would keep you knee dry

Thank you

I do not want to seem rude but I have presentation tomorrow

I will be as quiet as a mouse

Just ignore me

By the way my name is Sophia

You know my name

I am very happy to meet you

Likewise
