"Open your mouth," she commanded, her voice firm but her hand trembling slightly as she held out the pills.
I obeyed, opening my mouth as she placed the pills on my tongue. Her fingers brushed against my lips, sending a jolt through both of us. I could see the conflict in her eyes, the way her breath hitched as she pulled her hand back.
