The handshake that saved Daniel from falling into a dangerous cult
I stood there embarrassed with my hand extended, while he continued his conversation as if no one was in front of him. My heart began a silent prayer, hoping he’d notice me, that I wouldn’t be humiliated in front of everyone. I waited a few more seconds with my hand in the air, watching his conversation partner try to hint at what was happening, but he kept talking and ignored me.
