What just happened?
Hadley’s eyes widened in shock as the bread got stuck in her throat. It was too dry to swallow and too lodged to cough out.
Her coughs erupted uncontrollably.

Startled by the commotion, Eric rose swiftly and moved to her side from across the table. “Are you alright? Show me!”
He reached for her chin, trying to examine her mouth.
Despite her persistent coughing, Hadley vigorously shook her head, refusing his help. Her mouth was filled with half–chewed food–hardly a pretty sight.
