Not many people woke up knowing that their time was nearly over. That every thing they did would be their last. Ariel was the same. She had not thought that she would end her day by facing death. But that was exactly how things had played out.
When the attacker had raised his knife, ready to stab her, Ariel had been terrified. But then out of nowhere Tristan had been there and she'd gone from being scared for her own safety to being terrified for her husband's. When she had seen Tristan fighting the attacker, Ariel had wanted to rush in and help him.
But she had known that by rushing into the battle she would just be distracting Tristan instead of helping him. So she'd stayed by the truck watching the fight unfold before her eyes. Several agonising minutes had passed with her unable to do anything but watch the horrifying scene before her. Too stunned to think straight.
