Smitten (2007)
Smitten
““Oh man, this is so cool. I hope Noogie Newsome’s watching from across the street. He thinks he’s so hot because his brother got a scooter. Man, this baby could blast that stupid scooter right off the road.”
Lizabeth could barely see her son through the bugs splattered on her Plexiglas visor. She carefully put one foot on the ground and tried to breathe. It was probably the first breath she’d had since leaving Matt’s town house, she thought. She reached for the helmet and realized her hands wer...e shaking. It had felt so fast. All wind and noise and power.
Matt cut the engine and felt the body go limp behind him. He turned to look over his shoulder and saw that Lizabeth’s eyes were huge, her face ashen, her breathing coming in shallow gasps. He set the kickstand and slid off the bike, cursing himself for not checking on her sooner. He put his hands to her waist, pulled her to her feet, and removed her helmet.
“You’re all right. You’re just hyperventilating. Take a deep breath.”MoreLess
