Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 61

A man. 1

Hood up.

Walking straight at me.

“Hey”

I stepped back.

He reached for my bag.

Hard.

Too hard.

I held on.

Instinct.

He pulled again.

My balance shifted.

And then

Everything moved too fast.

Another movement.

Between us.

Marcus.

I didn’t see him arrive.

Just felt it.

The interruption.

“Let go,” Marcus said.

Calm.

Too calm.

The man didn’t.

course he didn’t.

It escalated quickly.

A struggle.

A shove.

A misstep.

Something hit concrete.

Then silence.

The man ran.

I stood close.

Still.

“You didn’t have to do that,” I said.

“I know.”

“Then why did you?”

He looked at me.

Steady.

“Because you were there.”

That was it.

No speech.

No performance.

Just fact.

I sat down slowly.

Across from him.

Hands folded.

Mind louder than I liked.
