Cairns Is Small

    I just got off work and was walking on the pedestrian. I heard a blast of car horn. It was uncommon give that Cairns was a small town and most drivers were patient. I lifted up my head to check out what was happening. I was stunned when I saw the driver sounding the horn. He was skipper Tom wearing the T-shirts of the dive centre that I had used to work for. He smiled in a weird way when our eyes met.

    When I quit the dive centre 3 months ago, I told everyone that I would have backed to Cairns. However, I did not let anyone at the dive centre know that I was back because I was seeking jobs at other dive centres. For the past 2 weeks, I had avoided to walk near the dive centre.

    Tom did not stop for long because of the traffic behind him. He drove away with the weird smile. We did not talk, but he definitely would talk to other coworkers tomorrow. I never expected that I would bump into previous coworkers like this. Cairns is small.
