"Linsey! Are you okay?" The designer's voice was laced with worry as she rushed to Linsey's side, gently patting her back. "Spit it out, quickly!" Linsey couldn't keep it down any longer. She spat the chocolate into the trash can, relief washing over her immediately.
"Linsey, drink swater!" The designer was panicked, unable to believe that something as simple as chocolate could cause such a reaction.

She masked her disappointment with a forced chuckle. "It's probably just my old stomach issue acting up again."
The last time, she had had a similar episode with dry heaving, all from not getting enough rest and dealing with stomach discomfort. Lately, she had been buried in work-especially designing a suit for Collin, which had consumed most of her time.
