Chapter 68
- LOUISA -
It's my smell that comes back first. I smell food. Something smoky. Somewhere far away, my stomach rumbles in response to the delicious scent.
I gulp in a mouthful of air. My cheek is tingling. My whole face is throbbing.
And someone is shouting.
"...hit her! What the fuck?"
I know that voice. That's Ward's voice. Ward is shouting. Why is Ward shouting?
I try to move, and pain shoots through my skull. It comes back to me slowly - the fight, my interference, Ward's eyes suddenly going wide - and I realize I was hit. The waiter punched me in the side of the face.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Ward shouts at the other man.
