Tracey acutely felt the loss of Heidi's hand in hers. Shyly, she looked down. This was such a bad idea. The temptation to run again was nearly overwhelming. She had no idea why she didn't give in. She shouldn't be wrestling with it at all, she should just get out of there. Fast!
However, she didn't. Tracey stayed right were she was. Her breathing was quick and shallow as she kept looking at Heidi. Her cheeks were still red and puffy from crying.
