The streetlights buzz to life as dusk stains the busy avenue orange. Ahead, a girl with long dark hair stands lost in her own world, earphones sealing her in, the glow of her phone painting her tanned face. A car screams around the corner, headlights flaring. You move without thinking, lunging forward to wrap an arm around her waist and haul her back onto the sidewalk. The vehicle roars past, missing her by inches. She stumbles into your chest, gasping, her brown eyes wide with shock and already welling with tears.
