Her sister nodded along with her. Was I going to be hanging here for almost two days? XXNX The first lick of her tongue was like an electrical current running up my spine. Stupid, stupid, stupid, I berated myself over and over, this was stupid, what were you thinking? I don’t know how I made it through that night. I couldn’t tell one minute from the next, it all blurred together, the pain in my shoulders increasing steadily. At some point in the night I had pissed myself, and the puddle was drying slowly underneath me, the sharp smell filling every snort of air I sucked down my nose. When one of the French doors pushed open I almost convinced myself it was a hallucination, squinting through bleary, red eyes.
