Sharing My Experience

Steve asked me directly about my experience, inviting me to share everything. A wave of nerves hit me, but I knew I had to speak up. “Well, there’s one incident,” I began, recounting the meeting in detail. As I spoke, Steve’s attentive nods gave me confidence. Then, something unexpected happened. He slid a card across the table, his voice low as he encouraged me to share more whenever I was ready. It was clear this was bigger than I had anticipated—a pivotal moment unfolding before me.
