They walked together,

Hand in hand,

Nevaeh occasionally bumping into him,

"Walk straight, Ma" He mumbled as she bumped into him again for the umpteenth time that afternoon,

"I can't help it" Nevaeh giggled as they got closer to the restaurant,

"Thief, thief" A woman screeched in the distance as her purse was forcefully snatched from her hand in broad daylight,

It was very far away, but her keen ears picked it up and she could tell the robber was approaching,

Nevaeh looked around, trying to see what she could use to distract Miles,

She detached her hand from his and smiled as she saw the man run towards them,

"What?" An unsuspecting Miles asked,

"I want ice cream" She whined as she batted her eyelashes, looking up at him through them,

Miles sighed,

"Dessert before the meal, are you sure you're gonna have enough room?" He asked,

"Mm hmm" Nevaeh assured him,

"Fine" He sighed as he turned to order it,

Nevaeh looked away as she stretched out her leg for the man to trip over,

He landed with a very loud thud,

Nevaeh sunk the heels of her shoe into his leg,

People around could swear that they heard a bone snap,

He screamed, trying to crawl away with the purse in his hand,

Miles was oblivious to what was going on,

His eyebrows was furrowed and lines appeared on his forehead as he tried to decide what flavor his girl would like best,

He knew she liked vanilla but he wasn't sure if it was her favorite,

"Uhmm, Ma?" He called,

"Yes boo" Nevaeh smiled innocently as she stepped on the man's other leg so that he wouldn't get too far,

"What flavor do you prefer?" He asked,

"Vanilla" She smiled, just before he turned around again to order, not noticing the man on the floor,

"Thanks for holding unto the purse for me, I'll take that" She grinned, as she squatted to take the purse from his hands,

"Don't steal again, it doesn't look good on you darling" Nevaeh giggled, pushing his nose with her finger playfully before standing,

"Ma, do you want any flavors combined with the vanilla?" Miles asked without turning around to look at her,

"No, thanks hunny" She grinned as the woman ran up to her, panting heavily, out of breath,

"This belongs to you, Yes?" Nevaeh asked,

"Oh my God, thank you so much dear, my rent money was in there, I was so sure I'd be screwed" She panted,

"It's fine" Nevaeh grinned as she handed the purse to it's rightful owner,

"Here's a hundred, you're a darling" the woman smiled, patting Nevaeh's cheeks as she handed her the cash,

"My pleasure" Nevaeh smiled as she sneakily returned the hundred dollar bill into the woman's purse as she left,

She liked being a hero,

She didn't really need to get paid,

"You're an idiot" Xanthe said through her airpods,

"Xanthe, power the fuck off" Nevaeh whispered as Miles turned around,
