The driver immediately recognized the veteran.
"Morning, Mr. Harris."

"Morning."
As Daniel helped him onto the bus, something unexpected happened.
The three young men followed.

He looked at the veteran with genuine regret.
"Please... take my seat."

The veteran looked surprised.
For a moment, he hesitated.
