“That’s different,” she told him, awkwardly dabbing a small cut on his temple with a damp cloth. “I don’t need to clean up after them.”
He took her hand, holding it against his leg with his free hand. “I’m a big boy, Case. You technically don’t need to clean up after me.”

“Is it still bleeding?”
“No.”
“Then I don’t need stitches,” he concluded. She gave him a look and he sighed. “Relax. I’ll be fine.”
He kissed the side of her head quickly then stood to put the ice pack back in the freezer.
“Ok, but I think you should go to the eye doctors at least,” she called after him.

She shrugged. “Well, you did walk into a wall. Twice.”
