Isaac strode in with a tray in hand, quickly advancing to her side. He set the tray down and helped her up, “Hungry?”

Brittany’s eyes were brimming with tears, “I feel awful.”

Every inch of her ached.

Isaac settled her back on the bed and slid a pillow behind her lower back, “Don’t move, I’ll feed you.”

The spicy crab, though reheated and having lost some of its former glory, still retained its delicious flavor.

Isaac hesitated for a few seconds before responding, “Alright, I’m going to take a shower,” When he emerged from the bathroom, Brittany was already asleep.
