She was just scalded a little by the boiling water, and it only hurt for a split second-she could bear with it.

He was being critical, but somehow, he sounded ever so tender.

“I’m not!” Cordy retorted, though she suddenly lost confidence after that.

Meeting John’s meaningful gaze just then, she admitted, “It’s just around you.”

She never messed up around others, after all.
