Echo and David met on a cold and rainy December afternoon outside of a Narcotics Anonymous meeting room. Echo was sick and tired of being sick and tired, homeless, and hopeless. David arrived at the meeting early. When he saw her sitting there smoking her last cigarette, his heart went out to her. He unlocked the door and offered her hot coffee and shelter from the storm. She politely declined, but returned the next night where he chaired her very first Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
