Our eyes met, and his voice trembled, “Don’t be scared, the paramedics will be here any second.”

of panic.

Was this just my imagination?

I steadied myself, closed my eyes and then reopened them, pushed against his tense arms, and said in a deep voice, “I’m okay, put me down first.”

He was clearly out of sorts.

“They’re on their way, almost here.” Zachary sald, looking clueless. He turned to me, trying to reassure, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Zade. The medical station is close by, you’ll be fine.”

I corrected him, “You got the wrong person.”
