Story
The story
At the company barbecue, Rachel takes one bite of vegetable salad and her throat swells shut. She shoves her phone at her boyfriend Liam and begs him to call 911. Instead, he hands the phone to his intern, Mia, who uses it to send him a link to a handbag. As Rachel crawls toward the backpack that holds her EpiPen, Liam stomps on her hand and accuses her of throwing a princess tantrum to frighten Mia, who weeps in his arms while the crowd condemns Rachel.
Only when Rachel's lips turn blue does anyone dial for help. Mia quietly hooks the backpack away with her foot, sending the EpiPen under the grill, and whispers that she chose the peanut sauce herself. In the ambulance Liam sits beside Mia, tells the paramedics he knows nothing of any allergy or medication, and scrolls funny videos for her while Rachel's oxygen mask is knocked loose.
Rachel had planned this barbecue as Liam's final test before she agreed to marry him.
Opening excerpt
It was the annual company barbecue.
I took a bite of the vegetable salad, drenched in some kind of creamy dressing.
A second later, my lips started to tingle. My throat swelled shut, and I couldn't breathe.
Realizing it was an allergic reaction, I shoved my phone at my boyfriend, Liam.
“Call 911.”
Liam took the phone.
He unlocked it, then handed it to his intern, Mia.
“You do it. My hands are shaking.”
Mia took the phone and swiped across the screen a few times.
A moment passed.
She sent a link to a handbag to Liam.
“Liam, what do you think of this one?”
