"There you go."

"Sir-sir Nor-Norman." Rain coughed profusely, releasing showers of milk curd from both her mouth and nostrils. Her eyes lit up in shades of astonishment and consolation.
Gasping weakly for breath, she staggered to get out of her seat and rush into Norman's embrace.
As though she'd sighted her savior, she relaxed onto his body in utmost relief, burying her stinging eyes into his chest.
