Her breath came in shallow, rapid pants. She felt a lightness, as though she might float away. She touched her throat. Her heart felt as though it was lodged within her throat.

She moved to the window, needing air. The city lights glittered below, but the beautiful sight did nothing to quiet the chaos swirling inside her.
