When I woke up, I was pinned. I thrashed once and Lochlan's face swam into view.
Hold still, Peanut. Peace is coming. He's got my wrists held against the quilt. A sharp pain comes suddenly in my elbow and then chemical euphoria floods in.
I lick my lips. You're sending me to visit them, I tell Lochlan but he lets go and then Joel bends down over me. I smile at him in slow motion. Hi, Stranger.
Hi, Beautiful. Lights out, he instructs, and I'm gone again.
