Nyla pressed her lips together and looked down. “Yes.”

Seeing the distance in her eyes, Clark suppressed his disappointment and forced a smile. He handed her the ointment and reminded her, ” Apply it now and again before bed. The swelling should go down by morning.”

She took the ointment from him. “Thank you.”

“I’m your husband. It’s my duty to take care of you,” Clark said.
