“Are you alright?” he asked, his concern evident as he looked at me over.“Yes, I’m fine,” I replied, trying to regain my composure. “Thank you for stepping in.”As I looked at him more closely, I noticed a striking resemblance to Damian.

Maybe he hadn’t taken a picture after all, but that didn’t erase the feeling of being belittled. “Take your antics to the office.
