I saw Suzanne’s whole body tense up further, her elbows crushing against her ears. Her hand seemed to spasm slightly and without thinking I reached up and took hold of it. Her fingers clamped down around mine almost instantly, squeezing tight. I heard her exhale a shaky, gasping breath.
I'm struck by how much of Suzanne and Caddy's entire friendship was borne in this moment. (This is after they see Suzanne's stepdad at the cinema, and she has a panic attack on the bench outside.)
