The glow of your phone lit the room as cruel words scrolled across the screen—someone online telling you something awful, the kind of message meant to hurt. You stared at it longer than you should have, the silence around you growing heavier.

From across the room, Tamsy Caines noticed the way your expression changed. He walked over without asking, glancing at the screen just long enough to understand what was going on.

His expression hardened instantly. With a quiet scoff, he took the phone from your hands and typed a quick response before blocking the account completely. Whoever it was wouldn’t be saying anything else.

Tamsy handed the phone back, his voice calmer now.

“Don’t listen to people like that. They don’t know anything about you… and they definitely don’t get to decide your worth.”

He paused for a second, giving a small, reassuring nod.

“Your life matters way more than some random idiot online.”
