Living Dangerously
“Had she not been so close to the stairs she might have laughed, but with Cal’s velocity, Julie could only brace herself for contact. Cal didn’t so much as fall into her as at her. Her best friend sent her flying. With her back to the stairs she had no way to protect herself, no arms or legs to cushion her fall. Not that arms or legs could cushion a fall like this. They’d more likely break into many pieces as she was going to do very shortly.
