There were some faults that just seemed to come pre-programmed into people. For some it was a love of gossip, others too much alcohol, while others tended to speak without a filter.
Ariel's fault, she had been told more than once, was being too kind sometimes.
But it was not something that she could just switch on and off. Even if she would have been able to do that, Ariel would not have done it. The world needed more kindness. That was her belief. If she saw somebody in trouble and she had it in her to be able to help them. Then she did it without a second thought.
That was something that she had always done, which was why, just as Ariel was getting ready to close up, and she saw a young woman rushing towards her. Her green eyes wide, her blond hair in her face. She did not immediately close up her truck and pretend as though she had not seen the girl.
