One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin
I was already moving before I finished thinking.
“Laurel—”
No response.
Her gaze was unfocused now, fixed somewhere past me, her breathing rapid, uneven—too fast.
Too shallow.My brain snapped into place.
Respiratory rate elevated. Accessory muscles engaged. Supraclavicular retractions—visible, pronounced. Lips—
Not pink.Turning.Purple.
And that sound—
Not coughing.Not clearing her throat.
A high-pitched wheeze, forced through narrowing airways.
“She’s having an asthma attack,” I said, the words coming out automatically, already moving past panic into protocol. “Sebastian—call an ambulance. Now.”
