Maybe it was because I felt a connection with her, a kind of empathy as one woman to another. I saw a glimpse of myself in her, and that sudden rush of emotion made me lose control and stand up. But that was all I did-stand up. I couldn't risk exposing myself to save someone else.

The man was getting closer now. His steps were unhurried, almost casual, and even a faint smile was on his lips.
