“You’re putting in too much strength!” Hannah kicked her in the chest. Toppling over, Megan didn’tregain her senses until a while later. She resumed massaging Hannah’s leg upon crawling back tothe latter’s side, only to be kicked in the chest once again. “Press harder!”

“That’s a relief. Why don’t you go to Pierre for help?”
