As a last-minute decision, I decided to go with a more descenter, giving myself an extra spray. My

Almost instinctively, I touch my fingertips to it, and I feel the tiny puncture marks that Leon left behind last night. A gasp escapes me. I was frantically trying to escape the loading docks and more worried about brushing my teeth;
