    Anthony was minding his own business one night taking a walk to clear his head when he heard foot steps faster approaching like someone was running. He turned and saw a girl running and running fast she had a little girl in her arms, and both were crying. Kenzie, the woman running, had finally decided to leave her husband she was 20 years old, and with a one year old daughter, she couldn't take it anymore and ran. Her and her husband had lived on the outskirts of the ton and she was running to her sisters house who had been telling her since their parents married her off about how if she needed to leave she'd let her stay with her and her husband. She kept checking behind her to make sure her husband wasn't following her, so she didn't see Anthony. Anthony tried to move as fast as he could, but it was futile, and she slammed into him he used his body to shield her and the young girl. She started apologizing immediately, scared out of her mind her eyed wide under the street lamp, her dress torn, and she had bruises. The little girl looked unharmed. Anthony: Hey hey hey calm down, please. What's your name, and why are you running? he asked, sitting up and holding her and the little girl in his lap, trying to soothe them. He had to admit she is a beautiful woman
