When He Calls

He called for help, and I answered.

That should have been the end of it.
One voice on a crisis line. One night in October. One man who laughed after the panic broke and said sorry, I don’t usually fall apart for strangers.
I should have logged the call and moved on.
Instead, I pulled his file and learned his name. Then his address, where he works… his schedule. I found his social media and learned his favorite foods, favorite places to go.
I traded shifts to be the one who picks up when he calls every Monday and Wednesday. Same voice. Same fear. Same quiet that comes after, when he trusts me with things he’s never said out loud.
He doesn’t know I’m parked outside his building.
He doesn’t know I’ve walked his halls.
He doesn’t know that on Halloween night, when the dark finally breaks him, I’ll be the one at his door.
Not because I’m saving him…
Because he’s mine. He just doesn’t know it yet.
