“Audrey! Wait!”

Edwin’s voice echoed down the bond, but I didn’t-couldn’t-stop. I needed air, needed to breathe.

My feet carried me forward, tears blurring my vision as I pushed past startled students and faculty. Finally, I came to a door leading outside, and the cool morning air hit me like a brick wall.

But as Edwin turned on his heel to storm back to the presentation room, I grabbed his arm, feeling the muscles tense under my touch.
