Our eyes meet, and a spark jolts through me, strong and sharp and aimed straight at my core.
Uh-oh.

wrong with me?
His back to me, he surveys the trail. And what a back it is, outlined by his sweat-soaked T-shirt, narrow at the waist and broad at the shoulders. He runs his long fingers over his shiny shaved head and turns to face me.

I gulp air and lengthen my stride. My quads burn and my sides ache, my reserves nearly spent.
I’ll never run without pepper spray again.
The guy is right on my tail, puffing like a bellows.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?
