"Is your husband abusing you?" He asked me.
My eyes widened in horror. I looked into his eyes that had a serious expression. For a moment I just stared at him. I didn't have an answer for him.
"Look I don't mean to overstep I've tried this whole time not to ask anything too personal since you seemed like you didn't want to talk about your situation but I'm concerned for you, Jasmine," he said to me in a gentle tone. "It's the reason I came to see you after your shift. I want to know if you need help."
I continued to stare at him stunned. I was completely taken aback at the fact that there was no judgemental look in his eyes. He instead had a genuine look of concern for me. I never thought he'd view my situation as abuse. This whole time I thought he was looking down on me and think of how pathetic I've become.
