He had been watching her every move

 

He had been stalking her for a while, watching every move she made.   He was so quiet and not once did she hear him until he startled her by running towards her and stopping just a few meters behind her.  He crouched down low and squared off, he wanted her, and he made his intent very clear.

Scars Project - Her beaded journey

  She was told to wait and have a seat, with her legs not quite touching the floor she swung them back and forth not quite understanding what was about to unfold.

Scars project - She found a lump and her life was never the same.

You can say he saved her life.  He persisted she get checked again and she really didn’t want to because she was just there, just had the mammogram done and the Dr. said, “everything is fine, see you in two years”.  So, in reality, her husband saved her life.
