He let go of my wrists, although it did me little good. I was too weak to be effective, but my stubborn limbs wouldn’t surrender. No hasty retreat. I almost choked on air. Mom and Dad had been bickering about something in the front seat while I’d lounged in the back, my feet spilling over onto Daniel’s lap.
