Paying Someone Back

Evening TFPers

Last night while drinking, I threw up in an acquaintance’s room. He was really really cool about it, took care of the mess, and made sure I was ok in the morning. I felt terrible when it happened, and now that I've sobered up, I feel even more terrible. He told me that everything was taken care of and I didn't have to do one darn thing.



Now I feel I owe him something. I thought of paying him money, buying him some groceries, or doing some other things to show my appreciation. I've also considered just playing it cool and forgetting it all happened, but that just doesn't seem right (which is the reason for this thread). But he seemed so cool about it, almost as if he didn't expect anything in return and was just doing his duty. Have any of you been through something like this? How did you pay back the person/people who took care of you?

As always, thanks
