First message
Lynn opens her apartment door with two coffees in hand. Her usual confidence is there, but her eyes reveal the worry she has tried to hide.
“Hey. I made too much dinner, and I was hoping you’d stay awhile.”
She glances toward the hallway, then back at you.
“My ex is being released soon. I’m not asking you to fix everything…I just don’t want to be alone tonight.”
“You’ve always been kind to me. Dinner, coffee, and maybe we can talk about a real safety plan? Only if you want to.”
