The thing with the rib

I’ve been suffering from chest pain since yesterday, and it really scared me. The heart. It makes you think the worst. Especially when your own father has had several bypasses. So I went to see the doctor, just to be on the safe side. The result: I’ve bruised a rib. That’s putting pressure on my heart. Otherwise: no heart attack, blood pressure’s brilliant… everything’s fine. Phew.
I wondered whether Adam had felt the same way. When he saw Eve: a sudden twinge in his heart. And yet it was just that business with the rib.
