“You seem to go out of your way to collect strange people”, Vera was often told.
It wasn’t strictly true- she didn’t go looking for people, but she had no inhibitions about striking up a conversation with people, and did end up with a wide circle of acquaintances.
The classical dancer who’d grown up in the same city. The corporate lawyer who shared her reading tastes. The rising football star who liked filter-coffee as much as her. None of them seemed to have anything in common with her, but they got along well.
And she was the richer for it.

Natasha - ...and so were they. I think we are all made better when we get to know a whole variety of different people. How boring it would be if we were all the same.
Wonderful, short but very nicely worded.

A nice little short story that makes you say, "Yep, life is nice with mix of friends."
