37 to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be
38 ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was
39 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to
40 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,
41 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very

55 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.
