As she spoke with the dispatcher, she kept a watchful eye on Joe, her heart aching for the man in his time of need. After ending the call, she focused on keeping Joe as comfortable as possible while waiting for emergency services to arrive.
She removed her jacket and carefully draped it over him, using it as a makeshift blanket to shield him from the dropping temperature. The jacket, though modest in its warmth, was a small gesture of care in the face of his suffering. Sophia leaned closer, speaking softly to Joe as though her words might bridge the gap between his distress and the comfort he needed.
