She tucks it back into the pocket of her slacks and sits down to rest her back against the base of the fountain and lay her head against her knees. Her whole body aches, her throat is burning and her muscles are stiff as they all remember how to work again. It's like 10 sleep comas all catching up at once, but at least she's alive. She can smell the air, hear the water in the fountain. That's better than death, right?
She'll still be sitting there, huddled against the fountain when he arrives.]
