"Carlos responded, “No, that’s not…”  Selena interrupted and said, “Please add his meal to my ticket.”  The waitress said, “yes ma’am”, laid a single menu on the booth table, and went to the front.”  Selena noticed the menu and said, “You can eat with us if you’d like?” 
Psalms 77:14, “You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.” (ESV)

Carlos, shocked, upset, but even more so empathetic said, “it’s okay buddy,” and proceeded to help the kid pick up the plate.  At that moment, his mom ran up to the three of them and exclaimed, “Oh mister I’m so sorry!”
The voice jolted Carlos.  The sound gave him chills.  He looked up, and sure enough, it was Selena.  They both gasped, stood paused for a second, and then laughed. 

She said, “I’m sorry about your shoes, I’m willing to pay for…”


“No, no. no,” Carlos interrupted, “that won’t be necessary.”  Looking at the waitress, he said, “I was just on my way to get a table.”  She asked, “Well.  At least let me pay for your food?” 


Carlos responded, “No, that’s not…”  Selena interrupted and said, “Please add his meal to my ticket.”  The waitress said, “yes ma’am”, laid a single menu on the booth table, and went to the front.”  Selena noticed the menu and said, “You can eat with us if you’d like?”
 

Carlos said, “Sure. Thanks.”  He gathered his menu, and followed Selena.  As they walked, she informed the waitress that he was moving to her table.  The waitress nodded and smiled at them as they went.  Carlos followed Selena to a table were 2 children were already seated.  Her son sat down, she did as well, and Carlos nervously did also.” 


She looked at him and said, “Kids this is Mr. Carlos.”  They said, “Hi Mr. Carlos.”  She said, “Introduce yourselves.”


Her young runner spoke first, “My name is Diego.”  Her daughter said, “My name is Isabella.”  Her oldest said, “I’m Juan.”


Carlos was floored.
