The Day I Kissed An Older Man

As soon as he looked up, he saw a rare display of emotion on Corinne's usually resilient visage. He felt his heart ache and immediately stood up to wipe her tears away. "Why are you crying? I'm fine.

Corinne failed to control her tears and said in between sobs, "How can you say that it doesn't hurt? An injury like this is going to be painful..."

Corinne pouted and placed his injured arm down as she urged him to stop moving. "You and your sweet-talking! From now on, you'll have to listen to everything I say and make sure your dressing is changed on time!"

Jeremy responded obediently. "Yes, honey. Please stop crying, and help me leave a good impression on your mother."

Corinne raised her arms and wiped away her tears before complaining, "What sort of good impression did you think you were going to make when you suddenly announced to her that you were excusing yourself?!"
