The Kindness of a Late-Night Chat

"It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter."
― Marlene Dietrich

A woman I know is a little bit of a Nervous Nellie.  Recently, she was traveling and found herself in a large, three-bedroom apartment by herself.  Even though it was late, she texted one of her best friends to see if she was awake.  Yes, her friend texted back.  The woman asked her friend if she could talk and they proceeded to chat until early in the morning.  This woman's friend probably wanted to go to sleep, but she knew that talking to her friend would calm her down.
