What Lies Beneath: Romantic Suspense
“I decided to take half a painkiller, just enough to take the edge off the pain without leaving me foggy-headed. The pill hit me harder than I’d thought it would. Within a few minutes, I was stumbling through the house, lightheaded and stoned. I was in no condition to drive. Besides, I didn’t think I could get behind the wheel with my leg in a brace anyway.
I would have to find and alternate way to the bridge. It was less than a mile away, but walking seemed like a bad idea, even if the pill... had taken care of the pain. The doctor had warned me to stay off my leg. The fracture could become worse.
I knew it was a bad idea, but in my stoned state of my mind I didn’t care. I decided to walk.
