Sharon had just won a ticket to a local concert—something 37-year-old Sharon could hardly imagine. She had rarely left her house throughout her life, but now she was determined to change that. Little did she know, the man she had been searching for was waiting for her there.
Sharon sat at her cozy kitchen table, the morning sunlight streaming through the window as she sipped on her warm coffee.
She was nearly done with her breakfast—a lightly toasted bagel with cream cheese. As she chewed the last bite, her phone buzzed on the table, catching her attention.

Glancing down, she saw an unknown number flashing across the screen. For a moment, she hesitated, but curiosity got the best of her.
Quickly swallowing her food, she cleared her throat and pressed the green button to answer.
“Hello, is this Sharon?” a cheerful male voice echoed through the phone.

“Uh, yes, this is Sharon,” she replied, her brow furrowing in confusion. Who could this be?
“Hi, Sharon! This is John from the morning radio show—you know, the one you listen to on your way to work! Congratulations! You’ve just won our lottery giveaway!” he announced enthusiastically.
Sharon blinked, her mind taking a moment to process what she just heard. “Wait, really? I… I won? What did I win?” she asked, her voice a mix of surprise and excitement.

Before answering, John chuckled warmly, as if he was enjoying the suspense he was creating.
“Well, before I tell you what you’ve won, how about giving a shout-out to someone special in your life? Maybe a friend, a family member… or perhaps a certain someone?” His voice had a teasing tone.
Sharon felt her cheeks flush a little. She hadn’t really expected to be asked such a personal question.

“Uh, well… I guess I’d like to say hi to my mom. She’s the person I care about the most,” Sharon said softly, her thoughts briefly drifting to her mother, who had always been her rock.
There was a short pause on the other end of the line, as if John was waiting for more.
“No one else? No secret crush? No special guy?” he prodded, the teasing still evident in his tone.

Sharon hesitated, her heart fluttering slightly at the memory of that day on the bus. She hadn’t really talked about it much, but now, for some reason, she felt compelled to share.
“Well, actually, there is someone I’ve been thinking about,” she started slowly.
“I don’t know his name, though. A few months ago, I was on a bus, and two drunk men were harassing me. They tried to steal my purse, and then this guy… he stepped in and threw them off the bus. He saved me,” she recalled, her voice softening as the memory replayed in her mind.
“But before I could thank him, the bus doors closed, and I haven’t seen him since.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, as if John was trying to take in the story. Then, he spoke, his voice more thoughtful this time.
“Wow, Sharon, that’s… that’s a beautiful story. It sounds like you’ve got a guardian angel out there. I hope you find him someday.”
Sharon smiled wistfully.
“Yeah, I hope so too.”
John’s voice perked up again.
“Well, in the meantime, I’ve got some exciting news! You’ve won one ticket to a sold-out concert in the nearby town next weekend! How about that?”

Sharon’s eyes widened in shock.
“Wait, really? I can’t believe it! I have never been to a concert!!” she exclaimed, her heart skipping with excitement.
John laughed on the other end. “Well, looks like it’s your lucky day, Sharon! Enjoy the concert, and who knows, maybe some more surprises are in store for you!”
