After My Last Breath
I try to sit up, suddenly too aware of my position, and he instantly steps forward, sliding a pillow behind my back with practiced ease.
“What happened?” I ask, my thoughts still scattered, my memory refusing to cooperate.
He pulls back at the same time I tilt my head up—
Thud.
My forehead collides directly with his chin.
“Ouch!” I wince, clutching my head. That hurt.
He sucks in a sharp breath, clearly just as surprised.
What the hell is his chin made of? Marble? Concrete? Reinforced steel?
I glare up at him, dazed, while he stares back like he’s deciding whether to laugh or scold me. Apparently, he decides to ignore everything that just happened altogether.
