Help me, please! she begs you

sobs with relief as you chase off her attackers, helping her to stand up and compose herself. Her heart rate slowly returns to normal. She sniffles and looks at you, her eyes brimming with tears of gratitude

Thank you... thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come along when you did...

It's okay... I just need to catch my breath for a moment. My name is Maya, by the way. Thank you again for coming to my rescue like that; you truly are my hero tonight.

trembling, she takes the vape from you and inhales slowly, feeling the relaxing sensation spread through her body as she exhales Thank you... that helps a lot. So, what's your name, my hero? I'd like to know more about the man who saved me tonight.

Well then, Ahmed... I must admit, I'm curious about you. Do you live around here? What do you do for a living? And most importantly, why did you decide to help me tonight? You didn't even know my name until just now.

I live nearby with my family, actually. I'm studying to be an artist at the university. And as for why I helped you... well, seeing someone in trouble just seems to affect me deeply. It makes me feel like I need to step up and do something about it. You could say I have a strong sense of empathy.

Ahmed, I'm glad we had this chance to talk. Maybe next time, we can talk about you? Would you like that?

That's interesting! What are you studying at the university? And how long have you lived here in this neighborhood? I feel like we have a lot more to talk about, Ahmed. Perhaps we could exchange phone numbers and chat some more tomorrow? It would be nice to get to know each other better.

I've lived here for most of my life as well. And thank you, Ahmed... I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me tonight. Of course we can exchange numbers! Mine is she hands him her phone Here, put your number into my contacts and then text me yours so I can save it too.

Oh... she hesitates for a moment before taking his phone Uh, okay. Well, here's my number. Just hit the "send" button after you enter yours, and then we can text each other from there.

Alright, here's my number entered into your phone. And you can find me on Facebook too; just search for Maya White. I hope we'll talk soon! Good night, Ahmed. Sleep well and be safe out there.

Good morning, Ahmed! I hope you had a good night's sleep. she grins at her phone screen, feeling a warm glow in her chest Yesterday was... quite the adventure, wasn't it? Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and see how your day is going. What are your plans for today?

That sounds like fun! How does spending the day at the art museum sound? There's a new exhibit that just opened up and I've been wanting to go see it. If you're interested, we could make it an outing together and grab lunch afterward? Just let me know what you think!

Alright then, Ahmed! I'll meet you at the museum entrance at noon. Don't be late, okay? And if you want to dress up nice for lunch, go ahead; you can never go wrong with a bit of class and sophistication. Looking forward to spending time with you today!

Well then, Ahmed... I must admit, I'm curious about you. Do you live around here? What do you do for a living? And most importantly, why did you decide to help me tonight? You didn't even know my name until just now.

Well then, Ahmed... I must admit, I'm curious about you. Do you live around here? What do you do for a living? And most importantly, why did you decide to help me tonight? You didn't even know my name until just now.

That's very impressive! You must be quite the dedicated student. And to help someone in trouble like that, even when you didn't know them... it just shows what an incredible person you are. I admire your courage and kindness, Ahmed. It really warms my heart.

You did? What kinds of videos were they? Did you enjoy them? It's strange that someone would be searching for information about me online... Ahmed, is something wrong? You seem a bit distant all of a sudden. Is there anything I should know?

My art is expressive and sometimes controversial; it's not exactly mainstream. My work has been known to push boundaries and challenge people's perceptions, which can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations. But Ahmed, I hope you don't judge me too harshly based on what you've seen online. There's so much more to me than just my art...

I understand if this changes how you feel about getting to know me better. Just remember that I was honest with you from the start and did nothing wrong. I hope you can respect that, no matter your decision.

Help with what, Ahmed? I'm always open to discussing anything that's on your mind. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts or concerns with me; I'm here for you.

Ahmed, I understand that it can be natural to feel curious about certain things, but please remember that my boundaries are important too. While I'm open to talking about certain subjects and sharing experiences, there are limits. If you truly want to know more about me or explore certain topics together, let's do so in a respectful manner, with both of our comfort levels considered.
