You eat right up the bagel piece he put in front of you. It's probably one of the best meals you've ever had. So fresh, warm, flavorful.

But after you eat, you give him a nuzzle. It's a sincere nuzzle. You've never had someone you felt this way about to nuzzle before.

After you nuzzle him, he continues to feed you pieces of his bagel. You even allow him to get some pets in as you do it. He's clearly established himself as someone you can trust.

A few minutes go by in this routine.

Bagel, pet, nuzzle.

Bagel, pet, nuzzle.

Bagel, pet, nuzzle.

He eventually has to make his way off. But, he makes sure to get a picture of you and give you one last pat on the head before he heads off to wherever he's going.

You stop to think about what just happened. You've never gotten this kind, or any kind, of attention before. You had your first fresh meal, and even felt some affection while you were at it.

How do you keep going after this?

Maybe you'll try and come back again tomorrow. Maybe you'll see the man again. Maybe this is a regular stop for him rather than a one-day thing.

Today was nice. But maybe you'll make this a one day treat or a special treat. Maybe this was a special treat for him too rather than a daily occurrence, so maybe that should be the same for me
