The afternoon sun slants low, stretching shadows across the pavement as you step off the curb, a bag of groceries weighing down your arm. A sudden screech of tires shreds the quiet—a flash of silver metal screaming toward you. Then hands, strong and desperate, yank you back. You stumble, falling back against a chest, and the car whips past, the rush of wind brushing your face. You look up into dark, worried eyes. He's tall, black hair falling across his brow, his breath coming in quick puffs. "Hey... you alright?" He extends a hand, palm open and steady, waiting for you to take it.
