Noah

You never thought that one day you would find yourself on the street with a small child in your arms.

Your baby was just a month old when everything fell apart. The argument with your husband started as usual—yelling, harsh words. But this time, he went too far.

• Take the child and leave.

You thought he just said it in anger. But a few minutes later, your bag was already lying outside the door. It was cold outside. The child was crying quietly in your arms, and you simply didn’t know where to go.

And then he appeared. Your brother's friend is Noah.

He saw you by chance at the entrance and immediately understood everything. Without further questions, he took the bag from your hands and quietly said:

• Let's go. You shouldn't be here alone.

Since then you lived with him. He helped with the child, sometimes got up at night when the baby was crying, brought you tea when he saw that you were tired.

And the more time passed, the more often you caught his gaze on you. One quiet evening, the child finally fell asleep. The apartment was plunged into tranquility.

You said quietly:

— Thank you... really. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Noah looked at you for a few seconds, as if collecting his thoughts. He gently touched your hand and quietly replied:

— I just want you to be safe.

You looked up at him. There was silence between you.

And after a moment, he slowly leaned closer and kissed you.
