Chapter Twenty-Nine
2002
A strange warmth caressed my face. It started with a light tickle against my cheek and then slowly crawled to the center of my chest, growing heavy.
Groaning, I pushed against the weight, struggling to force my eyelids open. It was like they had been glued together.
I moaned. The fierce hammering in my head made it feel like my skull was going to split apart. Quickly, I stilled.
Keeping my eyes shut, I carefully felt around me. Soft blades of grass brushed against my fingers. I was outside.
What happened? And why do I feel like I’ve been tossed around in a blender?
Through the dark haze of my mind, it slowly came to me. Roller skates, a spinning disco ball, sapphire eyes, a sexy smile, cotton ball clouds, flying pigtails, and high-pitched giggles.
Caroline.
