CYOA 3a-4b end

You decide to go home and get some sleep. You politely refuse and see the disappointment in his eyes. You tell him that you would love to next time but you have had a long day and need a rest. Everyone wishes you a good afternoon and heads their separate ways.

At home, you prepare a few tortillas, rice and beans on your camp stove. Shortly after, you doze off in the warm afternoon. The next thing you know, someone is banging on your tin door. You rise, notice it is night time and go to open the door.

Standing there is the president of the local parent's association with the school. He asks you if all is well and you say it is going fine. He tells you that he is concerned because he thinks something bad happened between you and one of the professors. You are shocked. Everything went so well today. You tell this to your visitor. He replies that you had told a fellow professor that you did not want to have tea with him. He asks you what he can do to heal the divide between you and the professor. You laugh internally at the simple disconnect in cultures and explain that you really like the professor but have been a little under the weather. Immediately, your visitor nods his head and wishes you the best of health. You step back inside, a little dazed.

The rest of your evening is uneventful. Nobody else stops by so you finish another book you took from the Transit House before bed. The next morning you head back to work to continual greetings of "the best of health to you."
