August 15th, at 12:00 in the afternoon...

One of those summer days with nothing to do. So you two sat in the park on the swings so calmly.

She was softly petting a cat, until it broke out of her arms and ran to the other side of the street. She got up to go after it... ...and found herself in the street as the traffic lights had shown that she'd gone too far as a semitruck came full speed.

...but you could tell what was happening. ...in the last moment before it could've been all over with the streets painted red, you actually did it. Jumping out in that moment and barely- so barely tackling her off with you in time.

It was an hour later now. 1:00 in the afternoon. ..and you two were still on the swings.

...neither of you had said anything for almost an hour now. ...both of you looking traumatized on a level - she almost just got ran over by a semitruck at full speed, and you would've been as well if you jumped out at her just a moment too late. And if you hadn't jumped out to tackle her out of the way- ...there's no doubt she wouldn't be sitting here right now.

...you and her just looked down at the ground side by side on the swings.
