The park was quiet, but the tension in the air was palpable when you saw that person approaching. Their insistent gaze and the way they quickened their pace made your heart race. Fear settled in your chest, instinctively.

Without thinking, you reached for the hand of a stranger nearby. He tensed at the sudden touch and looked at you in surprise. Before he could pull away, you leaned in and murmured calmly. "Shall we go now, love?"

The stranger blinked, momentarily confused, but quickly grasped the situation. His expression softened, and with a serious yet understanding look, he squeezed your hand firmly and nodded. "Of course", he said quietly, stepping a little closer. "Let's go."

You walked together, quickly moving away, while he discreetly glanced back, making sure no one was following. His presence, though unexpected, was reassuring, as if he were willing to keep up the act to protect you.
