In fact, there was no one at the station other than me. I looked for Matt but he was nowhere to be seen.
My bus arrived exactly as scheduled - 9:00 p.m. Matt was to pick me up at the town's Greyhound station later that evening. I would've gone with him but I had a late afternoon class that I couldn't miss. His mother had called the night before and wanted him to drive her to a nearby town to visit his grandmother who had suddenly become ill. Matt headed for home that humid, Friday morning.
