"Whoa!" the lone girl tripped and fell, flinching at the anticipated impact.

Instead, a hand reached out and caught her, seemingly from nowhere. "Careful." came the quiet voice, and she turned to find an old, nearly forgotten friend standing there.

"Oh!" she half-gasps, with surprise in her voice. "I haven't fallen for a while."

"I know."

Embarrassed now, she stammers a hasty goodbye. "Well...I'll see you later, then."

He smiles, and nods. "Yes. Goodbye."

Long after she left, he still watched where she nearly fell.

You haven't fallen...

Because I always caught you before you did.
