Loni fought against the straps holding her in the chair as pain ripped through her. Tears flooded her eyes. “Please make it stop!”Dawson reclined against one of the tables in the room. “You will be fine.”She’d never be fine again. She felt as though her head was going to explode. As if her whole body was going to tear apart.And then suddenly her body went limp as the excruciating pain vanished.
