Writing Prompt #254: Exception to the Rule

Today, I said hi to someone, avoided having them carry my bag, and walked on.

A friend caught up to me and asked me what had just happened, because I had frightened her.

She knew that avoiding anyone was not my normal behavior. She knew that my normal modus operandi involves being really friendly and welcoming and enjoying the people I meet. She knew that what for most people would be normal-friendly in me was a sign that something was seriously wrong.

Write a scene about an exception to the rule, about someone your character treats differently than other people.

And if you get the chance, would you pray for wisdom for me? I don't want to hurt anyone unnecessarily, but people are dangerous, and I want to make the right exceptions.
