Wilbur shrugged. “What a coincidence.”

“I’m fine.” Wilbur shook his head.

He came up to the child and checked for injuries before turning to the child’s mother. “Is everything alright?”

“Yes, yes… Thank you so much… I was just paying at the store when this kid ran out on his own.” The child’s mother was in shock as well, stuttering as she spoke.

Wilbur smiled. “I’m glad you’re both fine.”
