The urge to run was near overwhelming. Every day for the past three she’d forced herself to put one foot in front of the other, but today the fear choked her. She stopped, frozen, unable to move forward, her mind creating an invisible line that she could not cross. “Hannah? Everything okay?” Her eyes darted to the familiar face of Dr. Eric Johansen. Hannah dragged in a ragged breath, trying to hide her strange behavior. “Sure,” she said, taking a step back, moving away from that invisible line. “I…um…am due for a break. I’ll just grab a quick coffee.” “No worries,” Eric said with his usual kind smile. The man was tall enough to be a basketball professional and wide enough to play football but somehow the pediatrician didn’t scare his young patients at all. The weirdest part was that even Hannah felt the same sort of comfort in the big man’s presence. Strange, especially considering that her current phobia seemed to revolve around a sweet, seven-year-old child who was too ill to harm a fly.
