And for a second, I think he's not with me. And so I was like, okay, I think it's fine. And then I look over my shoulder and he rounds the bend and is just staring at me still. And he's picked up his pace. No.

Yes. I'm so glad I was on the phone with Sam because I don't know if my brain would have done the smart thing in that situation. I live four blocks from the train station. So my gut was like, can I just outrace him home? But Sam was like, Cheesy's is right there. It's like a late night, drunk food, grilled cheese place. And he's like, they have a bouncer. Go in there and ask them for help.

Yeah, good job. I duck into Cheesy's and the bouncer is like this big guy. And I'm like, don't let that man in behind me. He's following me from the train. And so he stops the guy and the guy's like arguing with him. And then eventually the guy starts walking away. So the bouncer comes in and he's like, are you good? You can sit here as long as you need. Is someone going to come pick you up?

I was like, I live three blocks from Cheesy's. It's fine. I'm still on the phone with Sam. I will wait 20 minutes. I'm sure it'll all pass.

No, but I've had many grilled cheeses since. I'm sitting there talking to Sam and I look up and Cheesy's has a glass huge window storefront and the man did not in fact leave. He walked to the end of the front window and has plastered his face and hands against the glass and is still staring at me. I'm sitting at like a table right by the door.

So I tap the bouncer and I'm like, hey, he's still there. So he goes back out there, chases him away again. I reset my 20 minute clock. I'm like, it's still fine. I'm not going to get picked up. Sam lives like a 20 minute drive from me. I'm like, you do not need to come all the way up here to give me a ride home. Talking to the bouncers, just hanging out. Five minutes maybe go by.

And this man's coming back. He's running down the block and he's yelling and pounding his fists on the door.
