Something strange and big welled inside Meriwa. For a moment she was a cavern that was rapidly filling with water, the building pressure pushing incessantly against every side of her…until she thought her very skin and bones would buckle and she would burst one, spilling everything she was out into the world.
The feeling rose in her throat though she tried to keep it down, her muscles on fire with the effort. It was dissimilar to how it’d felt when Jackson had his hands wrapped around her throat as he’d slowly squeezed the breath out of her.
It was all too much.
And for whatever reason, her eyes began to sting.
Meriwa’s hands balled into fists at her side and she fluttered her lashes desperately to try and rid herself of the mistiness that was overcoming her sight.
What on Earth
