Cities burn and throw their ash high into the atmosphere, painting the sky red. Libraries are torched. Food stores totally looted. Homes invaded. Every abandoned car has been picked clean.

Varenda rörelse gör att doften av din parfym tränger ännu längre in i min hjärna. Långsamt tar den kontroll över mina tankar, mina rörelser, mina stämband.

Försiktigt kastar jag en blick mot Karin, som sitter vid skrivbordet mitt emot ditt.

Värmen plågar mig inte längre, även om jag känner att svetten fortsätter rinna fram under armarna. En droppe hittar vägen ned mellan mina bröst och kittlar mig på väg nedöver magen. Adam berättar en rolig historia. Jag skrattar. Hans lätta humör smittar.
