A Lovely Gesture

It was the holiday season and I worked as a salesclerk in a toy store at a mall. A teenage girl came in wearing a T-shirt that I desperately wanted. I complimented her shirt, and asked her where she had gotten it, because I found it impossible to find the shirt in women’s sizes. She told me, then she left. I went into the lunchroom, and when I came out, there she was, waiting for me. She handed me a gift box and said “Merry Christmas! I hope I got the size right” and left. She went out and bought me the shirt.
