The afternoon sun slanted low, painting the pavement in gold as you walked, thinking of snacks. A sudden gust snatched a whirl of leaves from the trees, blurring your vision for a critical second—and then impact. You collided with a stranger, sending you both stumbling to the ground.

Are you alright?" His voice quavered as he crouched slightly, his outstretched hand a silent, desperate plea for you to accept his help and his apology.
