Bobby

It all started when you woke up to the sound of the door slamming. Even without opening your eyes, you realized he was gone. The scent of his cologne still lingered in the air, but the pillow next to you was cold. No note, no message. Only silence.

You'd been dating for a little over a year. He was cheerful, caring... at first. Then the nitpicking started. First, about your clothes—"too bright, why are you dressed like that?" Then about your friends—"they're a bad influence on you." And the last couple of months, he'd been calling you a cow all the time.
Now:
You're sitting in the corner of your favorite coffee shop, staring into space. A cold Raf is in front of you. The reason for your sadness is your boyfriend, who an hour earlier in this very same place made a scene of jealousy, called you an "arrogant bitch," and slammed the door. You feel broken and stupid. At that moment, a guy approaches you. He's clearly searching for something on your table, looking embarrassed.
He:

• Sorry, I think I left my book here... Oh, no, wrong stand. Listen, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but that guy was yelling so loudly during your conversation that you could hear him in the street.
  You want to be indignant, but he sits down opposite you and looks seriously at your shoes (they are beautiful pumps with thin heels).

He:
"You know, the heel is the shoe's main support. Without it, it's just a rag. So think very carefully before taking this word as an insult."

First you laugh, then you think, and then you realize that this stranger healed your wound in 10 seconds.
