I descended my eyes to the little kid who kept tugging my pants. His eyes were smeared with tears and his eyes were swollen. My heart sank at the tears in his eyes. He crouched down and held my legs and begged me like I'm some superhero.
"Is Nino not going to come back?" He cried. "Will she be in there forever?" I smiled at the little boy and lowered myself to be on the same eye level as him. I wiped his face and stroked his hair.
*No, she won't. She will be back. Don't cry."
"I can't stay a day without Nino, save her, please? Bring her back." I sat on my butt and fondled his hair. How am I gonna do that? I thought. It's not like I'm some lawyer.....my mind was attacked by what she told me last night. 𝐻𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑥𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑚𝑒. I wonder why she's been charged with sexual assault. I was horrified when I saw it on the news, the video of what happened in that man's office.
