I don’t even remember deciding to step forward — I just did. Something about the way she looked, like the world had already been too heavy before this… it stayed with me.
“Hey,” I said gently, stepping between them. “You’re okay.”
The man scoffed, but the moment had shifted. The attention wasn’t on her anymore.
And that’s when everything changed.
Because what happened next… didn’t just help her.
It changed me too.
