I looked up at him. And without wasting a single second, I took out one pill, tilted my head back, and threw it into my mouth.
The moment it hit my tongue, everything changed.
It was like a switch being flipped inside me. The heaviness in my chest, the sickly feeling in my stomach, the trembling in my hands, all of it melted away like frost under a hot sun. What was left was pure bliss, a warmth that spread from my core to the tips of my fingers, a lightness that made me feel like I could float right off the ground. Euphoria flooded through me, bright and clean, washing away every shadow of fear and pain, and I could not stop the smile that spread across my face.
I walked over to the couch and sank into it, sighing with pleasure as the feeling rolled through me in gentle waves. "Wow. This is such an amazing feeling."
"Tell me about it," he said, watching me with those dark eyes, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
