Did Hallmark make 'sorry our hookup ended in fire and I bailed to go play hero and pissed you off because you sublimate most of your emotions into anger' cards? Sure, it seemed really specific, but she was probably not the first person on the island who needed to send a card like that.
A flaming light fixture came crashing down, bringing half of the ceiling with it. Kathy dodged most of it, though a chunk of metal slammed into her side, hitting her skin with a hiss that was as viscerally unpleasant to hear as it was to feel. She tried to scream but her throat wouldn't cooperate.
Bathroom. She had to get to the bathroom. Another wet towel, maybe. Something. Anything. The doorknob was hot enough to make her cry out, but she slammed it open--and found a skinny guy just a few years older than her curled up on the bathroom floor, covered in burns and smoke, but still alive.
