Blake jerked back with a grunt. He let go of me instantly, stepping back as I collapsed to the floor, gasping for air.

“I’m sorry,” he said, staring at my neck.

Emma dropped the scissors and ran to me. “Mommy!” Her little hand touched my cheek. “Are you okay?”

I nodded, still trying to breathe normally.

I squeezed her hand as my breathing steadied. Blake stood frozen, pressing his hand against his knee, blood seeping through his fingers.

When I could finally speak again, I looked at his wound. It wasn’t just a scratch – the scissors had gone deep enough to create a steady flow of blood.
