Jeremy said something about being okay. He was smiling, they were exchanging words, but I was finding it hard to breath properly. I could still feel the brush of his fingers around my neck. I swallowed.
Then Carol said “You are healing just fine, see how good you look.”
Jeremy looked my way even though it was Carol who spoke. “Yeah? You think they all know?” He asked her, a hint of casual arrogance in his tone. I blinked away. I couldn’t believe he was doing this. I wanted to stand up so bad. This was embarassing.
“Oh, they’d know even if they on googles.” Carol exaggerated, and I couldn’t help but look their way again. He was still looking.
