I was having a hard time controlling myself, the sights, the sounds, the smells, the feelings. I groaned as my senses swooned. I didn't know what else I could do but keep going... But I had to be careful. Coraline, her bandages, and didn't the first time hurt?

It was a hard thing forming coherent words, much less sentences, but I did my best. "Cor- Coraline! Are you-- is this-- is this all right?"

I could feel the sensations beginning to rise to that peak, and it frightened me a little.
