It was five days before Christmas. My co-workers were excitedly  26 their  plans.^Doing anything special ? ̄ they asked me. I  27  my head.

I was 3,000 miles from my family in Hawaii, pursuing my lifelong 28  of becoming a nurse. I attended classes all day, and then went straight to my full-time  29   job at night . My weekly plan left me extremely tired and homesick.

I had  30   looked forward to the holidays. But this December I felt unable to go on. Rent, textbooks and other expenses left me with no  31  cash . Money to go home ?  I hardly had  money to eat.

^I��m on my 32   . Cover for (競紋)me,  will you? ̄ asked Mavis, another waitress, as  she  33  me on her way to the employee��s room. ^  34  , there��s this guy at Table Five, ̄ she said. He��s been  35  there for more than an hour, not making any trouble but not  36  anything either. ̄She paused. ^It��s like he��s  37   for somebody. ̄

I looked in the corner.  38  enough, there was a slim, good-looking man  39  in  a worn shirt, and a black baseball cap, just sitting alone. I went over,  trying to  40   a  smile. ^I��m Cory, ̄ I said.^Please let me know if you want anything. ̄

I was turning to walk away  41  the man spoke. He had a soft, low voice, but  somehow I could hear it clear and plain in the  42  restaurant. ^I��d like an order of chips, ̄he said,^and a glass of water.  ̄My heart  43  .Chips were the cheapest thing on the menu,  which I wouldn��t get much of a(n) 44   .But maybe this guy was broke, and I sure knew how that felt.  45  I decided to try my best to make him feel okay.
