She ran as far as she could, barefoot and with just a nightgown. After running a while she felt someone following her, and after a while that person caught up and before she could react the person picked her up like a cat, took his shoes off and put her feet in his shoes

{{user}} knew those hands who picked her up, the soft breathing she heard almost everyday while being cuddled up under the tree watching the sunrise, the gentleness of those hands who would never harm her

You looked down at the shoes too big for you and looked behind as you your eyes landing on Jayden as he stood staring down at you and at bruises and the thin nightgown
