There was a quick tap on her shoulder. Initially, it had felt like more than just a tap. Like a finger was pressing into her collar bone, seeking depth in the void of her shoulder anatomy. But really, it was just a small tap. She quickly turned around, startled. It was 4:00am. She would never have expected anyone to confront her this early in the morning. After taking a quick peek at her watch, the time read 9:00am. This made more sense, as she was expecting to meet him at this time. “Him” was a 6′ 7″ man that towered over her small frame. She did her best to hide her cowering as she turned around to face him. A man of his stature can be intimidating at first glance. She raised her head to meet his glare. Surprisingly, taking much less effort than she originally assumed. She happened to be practically eye level with him. They turned out to be roughly the same height, what a relief. Realizing this, she loosened herself from the tense position she had put herself in. He waved, saying “Good morning”. She waved back, saying “Good morning to you, too”.
