It was supposed to be just a quick lunch break.
The officers sat at their table, half-eaten burgers and fries in front of them, when a little boy walked up.
He wasn’t scared.
He wasn’t shy.
He simply lifted his foot and said, “Can you help me?”
One of the officers chuckled, nodding as he knelt down to tie the boy’s untangled shoelaces.
His hands moved carefully, tightening the knot as the other officers watched with amused smiles.
It was such a small, innocent moment—something most people wouldn’t think twice about.
