Vespa swung a leg off the scooter’s worn leather seat. She didn’t rush. She simply walked to stand in front of Awlivv, close enough that the sea salt mingled between them. With one finger, she tilted Awlivv’s chin up.
“I move because I choose to,” Awlivv echoed, the words shaky at first, then firmer.
“Look at me,” Vespa said. Her voice was low, a steady rumble beneath the crash of waves. “Not the drop. Not the rocks. Me.”
“One step,” Vespa breathed. “That’s all. Then another. You don’t need to see the whole beach. Just my voice.”
“I can’t,” she whispered, more to the wind than to herself.
“Then I’ll carry you back up,” Vespa said without hesitation. “And we’ll try again tomorrow. But you won’t fall. Not because the path is safe—it isn’t. Because I’ll be right behind you, every step. And every time you look back, I’ll be there. Saying exactly what I’m saying now.”
