The Big Kat
So, there's this really attractive woman who works in my building. I sometimes see her walking in the hallway but very often we catch the same train when heading home from work each day. I generally keep my distance because I find myself staring at her. Many times, I will move to a different car just so I don't seem like a creeper.
About a month ago I found myself standing near her waiting for a seat to come open. She started talking to me and over the ensuing weeks, we often will chat. I found that she is very intelligent and well-spoken. When she engages in conversation, she looks me in the eyes and smiles her beautiful smile. She is down to earth and has a great sense of humor and has the most beautiful eyes!
The other day, I learned something about her that makes me pause. It seems that two years ago, she was involved in a hit and run accident and was found to be DUI. She left the scene after striking this guy while he was stationary on his motorcycle. She did not report the accident either. The only way that they were able to apprehend her was that her license plate fell off in the crash. To young man was severely injured and was in a coma for three weeks. They thought he wouldn't survive but luckily, he did. He now lives in a nursing home to the severity and permanency of his injuries. He is partially paralyzed, can barely speak, had a stroken and lost a kidney due to the accident.
This woman, who must have a good lawyer, has so far avoided jail time or even a trial. I haven't seen her since I learned of this information (she's on vacation in Vegas). On one hand, I really like her and wish to continue cultivating a possible friendship. On the other, I am really upset at the DUI thing. Two years ago, my friend and coworker was killed by a "distracted" driver while returning from visiting his parents. He was also riding a motor cycle.
I don't want to say anything to her or let on that I know. But I'm not sure I can look at her the same anymore. I would feel strange bringing it up and indeed would feel similarly if I ignore it.
