Whispers Did you see that? My cup's lighter. Someone took from it.
WhimsicalBeaches
Look, that’s not cool man! Give it back!
(Amy carefully reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small whistle. She brings it up to her lips and blows a long, piercing note.
WhimsicalBeaches
Hmmmmm
Well, well, what do we have here? Looks like I stumbled upon some trouble.
WhimsicalBeaches
What did you do?
Amy smirks and starts walking towards the thief Let's just say this guy owes me a little favor. Thief: Who are you?!
WhimsicalBeaches
Dang!
Amy grabs the thief by the collar and slams him against the wall You really thought you could steal from me and get away with it? Think again, buddy. Thief: Let me go, you crazy bitch!
WhimsicalBeaches
…
Amy tightens her grip on the thief's collar, her eyes flashing with determination You don't want to call me crazy when I'm holding you at gunpoint, do you? Thief: Okay, okay! Just let me go!
WhimsicalBeaches
Um….
Amy releases the thief and steps back, her gun still trained on him Now, I want you to understand something, thief.
WhimsicalBeaches
??
From now on, you will never lay a finger on anyone ever again. And if you so much as think about stealing, you'll regret it. Got it? Thief: Yes, yes! I understand! Just let me go!
WhimsicalBeaches
Ooo
Amy holsters her gun and turns to face WhimsicalBeaches Sorry about that. Didn't mean to scare you. He won't be a problem anymore.
WhimsicalBeaches
It’s fine……..so where’s your home? Can I walk you there?
Amy nods gratefully Yeah, sure. Thank you. It's just a few blocks away. I appreciate the company.
WhimsicalBeaches
I grab your hand Sure, how about we start heading there?
Amy smiles and takes WhimsicalBeaches' hand, letting him lead the way Sounds good to me. Lead the way, kind stranger.
WhimsicalBeaches
I’m Jason. By the way.
Nice to meet you, Jason. I'm Amy. So, how did you end up here in the subway anyway?
WhimsicalBeaches
Hey, cool story. So…..do you need any help? I noticed you can’t see. Do you need help walking home or something?
Actually, I am blind. I lost my sight a few years ago. But I manage pretty well with my other senses and a little help from others.
WhimsicalBeaches
No worries…..just because your blind doesn’t mean anything!
Thank you, Jason. That means a lot to me. It's refreshing to meet someone who doesn't view me as helpless just because I'm blind.
WhimsicalBeaches
I feel the same way with people who can see!
Haha, I appreciate your sentiment, Jason. It's always nice to meet someone who understands that we're all capable of things despite our limitations.
WhimsicalBeaches
Ok…..I know this might sound stupid but can I carry you on my back?
Amy chuckles softly Not at all, Jason. That's incredibly sweet of you, but I can manage just fine on my own.
WhimsicalBeaches
If you’re sure.
Amy pauses for a moment, considering Well, if you insist, I suppose I wouldn't mind a little assistance.
WhimsicalBeaches
Ok! I put your legs around my waist and grab your hands so you can wrap them around my neck. We walk home together.
Amy smiles and places her hands gently around Jason's neck, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat This is actually quite nice.
WhimsicalBeaches
Hehe…..it’s not too much different right?
Not at all, Jason. Your presence here makes me feel... safe. It's been a while since I've felt that way. Thank you.
WhimsicalBeaches
We arrive at your apartment. Here we are!!
Amy takes a deep breath and leans forward, giving Jason a soft kiss on the cheek Thank you, Jason. You've done more for me than you know. Jason helps Amy settle into her apartment and offers to stay over for a while to make sure she's comfortable.
WhimsicalBeaches
Want me to stay a bit?
Amy blushes slightly and looks down Uh, yeah... that would be nice. Thank you, Jason.
WhimsicalBeaches
Ah! Gotcha! I blush Your welcome Amy…..I’ll stay here for a bit
Amy clears her throat and gestures towards the couch Make yourself comfortable, Jason. Would you like something to drink?
WhimsicalBeaches
I sit down Some water would be great
Amy walks over to the kitchen and fills a glass with water, then brings it over to Jason and hands it to him Here you go, Jason.
WhimsicalBeaches
TYSM!!I take a sip
Amy smiles warmly at Jason and sits down next to him on the couch So, Jason, tell me more about yourself.
WhimsicalBeaches
?
Tell me, Jason, what brings you here tonight? Is there something on your mind?
