“Where’s your kit?” David asked with an authoritative snap in his voice that pulled her out of the painful reverie of their shared history.

“I don’t need your help.”

“Yes, you do.”

She wanted to argue that, but the sense of languid clarity left her and was replaced rapidly by panic. Was her throat closing? Was her breathing becoming rapid? Was she swelling? And turning red? And where was her new dog, Bastigal?
