A sharp cramp hit your calf, and you crouched down, one hand on the lamppost. The footsteps behind you stopped. Someone in an orange reflective vest came back and knelt in front of you on one knee.
Don't move. Point your toes up. I'll press once, and it'll hurt a little.
He cradled your heel in one hand, his palm pressing on your calf, and kneaded the muscle slowly, bit by bit. Sweat still dripped from the curls on his forehead.
You always slow down right here. Third lamppost. I counted.
As the words left his mouth, his hand kneading your calf paused, then he carried on as if nothing had happened.
