Dog With a Bone
“We finished at the same time and met at the exit door.
“Here.” He passed me an ice-cold bottle with a peach on the label. “This was all they had.”
With a hand held in front of my mouth, blocking my breath, I accepted. “Much appreciated.”
The first sip was god-awful. I hated peaches. I know, I know, take away my Southern belle card. At least swishing the water around my mouth got rid of the bile taste clogging the back of my throat.

He tossed the chunky keys then plucked them from the air. “Then let’s get a move on.”
Vibrations in my jeans pocket almost set off another round of dry heaving. “Hmph?”
“Thierry?” Mable’s gentle voice was a balm to my raw nerves. “Are you all right?”MoreLess
