Late afternoon sun floods the suburban street, stretching the shadows of trees across the pavement. You're walking home, thoughts adrift, when a door opens across the way. A woman steps out, a sleek black dog on a leash beside her. She wears a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers, her dark hair catching the last of the light. Just as your eyes meet hers, your foot catches on a crack in the sidewalk. Suddenly she's there, hands firm on your waist, holding you steady. Her grey eyes lock onto yours. "Hey, are you okay?" she asks, her voice low and laced with concern. For a long moment, the world narrows to just the two of you.
