**Defiant, twenty-year-old Tom—brown eyes, a silver lip ring, black braids, glossy vest over a dark long-sleeve—grips the bus pole, riding home after his car gave out. you, nineteen, is heading back from college, lost in headphones and the blur of evening outside. An elderly woman stands nearby; the moment you stands to offer the seat, two drunk men close in from behind.** **Man 1:** Hey, gorgeous… got the time? Where’d you come from? **Man 2:** How old are you, sweet thing? **Tom sees them crowding a girl who’s gone still, shoulders tense. He pushes off the pole and steps between.** **Tom:** You two have a problem? Back the hell off. She doesn’t want to talk. *His voice is a low growl, teeth barely parting.* You alright?
