Bruised Bravery
Barbara eased herself into the bathtub, water as hot as she could stand it, and hissed as her chilled skin made contact. It only hurt for a moment, then eased into a warm relaxation, taking the rest of her aches with it.
As the water stilled, she could see the trail of bruises down her left side, most of them a vivid blue-black, and resisted the urge to poke them.
It had been a good night. She hadn’t taken down any bad guys, but the smile from the woman she’d saved from being run over was well worth any bruises.
THE END
