"Yeah yeah whatever ya say!" The thug got up and turned tail, and with the rest out of commision, they were safe.
Sidney said nothing.

Trent dropped the maser cannon, and grabbed Sidney's shoulders, turning her to him. His left eye showed sincere concern as he looked her over.
"Are you alright?"

She looked at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Lets just get out of here."

Trent smiled. "Alright."
He picked up his groceries and was ready to escort Sidney wherever she pleased.

She silently led them back along the path back to the apartment building, and as they walked Sidney's mind was in turmoil. Why did this man keep trying to help her or care for her? What did he want, if he wanted anything? No matter how hard she thought about it, Sidney could not think of any reason why he should treat her like this except for some ulterior motive. And she couldn't see any of that in him, no matter how hard she looked.
When did you start caring Sidney?
Since a guy went out on a limb for me.
As these thoughts plagued her mind she continued along, head bowed as she searched the ground for nothing.

"Hey.." Trent leaned in closer. "Are you sure you're alright?"

She looked at him, his intrusion snapping Sidney out of her internal dilemma.
"I told you I'm fine."

"Alright." Trent gave her some space as he walked her in.

For convience they took the stairs again, and in a few moments were at their neighboring rooms. Sidney unlocked the door to her room, and took some of the groceries from Trent, carrying them inside.

Trent left his share by his doorside, taking a step into her room.
"Let me help you."

She sighed. "Alright," Sidney said, uncharacteristically letting him help her as they brought the food items into her room.

Trent walked in carefully, paying small mind to the surroundings around him as he emptied the grocery bags one by one.
"You live here alone, then?" he gathered.

"Yes," she answered, taking out food items and placing them within her refrigerator.
"Always have, always will."

"Don't need to be," Sidney replied, sitting down on her bed. She looked up at Trent.
"I suppose I should thank you."
