This is the second story of the trilogy...
A Medallion Trilogy - Angel, A New Beginning
By Anon Allsop
The small car came to a stop as the passenger window rolled halfway down, "You need a lift?" I bent over and looked at the driver for a full five seconds before opening up the door and stepping in.
It was raining pretty steadily now and it didn't look like it would let up any time soon, so I figured what the heck. "Thanks, I was getting a bit soggy walking out there." I looked over my shoulder to see if anyone else saw me climb into the car, no one else was around, just me and the guy. That's when I heard a tiny sound behind me causing me to look over my shoulder: it was a very young infant in a car seat.
The man noticed me looking at the child and smiled, "Do you like babies?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "Sure, they're okay."
"We're heading to Nordstrom, Connecticut, ever hear of it?" He asked trying to make small talk.
I shook my head. "I've been all over the East Coast, but never there." I looked back toward the little one strapped into the seat, "Boy or girl?"
"Girl." He said without looking.
We drove on for a few miles, "Your daughter's cute."
He smiled, "Yeah... uh... she looks like her mother."
