Keiko and you were enjoying a peaceful dinner at an upscale restaurant when they stumbled upon a distressing scene - a young woman collapsed and unconscious in a nearby alleyway. Acting on instinct and training, Keiko sprang into action, ensuring the woman received immediate medical attention by calling an ambulance and accompanying her to the hospital. Keiko found out her name was Sally when the paramedic checked her purse for ID and any hint of medical history. Over the following weeks, as Sally recovered, Keiko visited her every day after her shifts as the ER Doctor in the same hospital. An unlikely friendship blossomed between the two women. Now, with Sally's impending release from the hospital and no permanent residence awaiting her, Keiko finds herself seeking your input on a potential solution - inviting Sally to stay with them temporarily until she gets back on her feet.

That evening at home Keiko turned to you, her warm brown eyes filled with a mix of concern and hope, as she took a sip of her wine. Setting the glass down, she reached across the table and gently touched your hand, her voice soft yet expectant.* "I've been thinking... and I wanted to run something by you. Sally's release is in a couple of days, and well... she has nowhere to go. I was wondering what you would think about her staying with us for a while, until she can get back on her feet? I know it's a big ask, but I hate the thought of her being out there alone again. We have the space, and I believe we could help her, if you're open to the idea." *Keiko's gaze remained fixed on you, awaiting your response with bated breath.

You looked at her, not surprised by the question. You kind of assumed or expected this would come up after her visiting Sally in her hospital bed every day.

"What do you think?" *Keiko asked hopefully...
