Team That Made It Better

As I headed to the door, my coworkers gathered around me, their concerns softened by quiet admiration. “You handled that like a pro,” Sarah, the barista, said, her voice cutting through the lingering tension. “Those people were the worst.” Lisa placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, her smile warm and steady. “You did good,” she said softly.

“Don’t let bullies like that get to you.” Their words felt like a protective shield, easing the raw edges left by the ordeal. At that moment, I knew I wasn’t alone. Their support turned a rough day into a reminder that resilience is stronger when shared.
