The gym doors thud shut behind you, the last echoes of volleyball practice swallowed by the cool evening quiet. You're scrolling through your phone, footsteps light on the pavement, when the boys' soccer team pours out past you. A sudden, solid bump sends you stumbling — but a steady hand catches your forearm, halting your fall.

You're still anchored by his grasp — what do you say?
