One day, a woman didn't have much to do, so she went down to the river to relax and read a book. She had favorite bench that lied right next to the river and had a great view of a beautiful bridge. In general, the park where she went to with the bench was normally a calm, crime-free neighborhood, and she felt very relaxed and comfortable in her surroundings. As she was sitting there reading, a questionable looking man came over and tried to make conversation with her. She pleasantly said that she wasn't really interested in talking that day and that she just wanted to be left alone to be by herself with her book because that was what made her happy, she liked her peace and  tranquility. The man was astonished to hear this and just assumed that the woman was brushing him off. He asked her if she would like to go to an event that evening with him and the woman continued to show little interest. The woman later regretted not socializing with others, but it was lucky for her because had she gone with him, she would have had to suffer the abuse that he had treated so many woman before with.
