Sylvia gave him a cold look. “Take it off!”

Edgar hesitated, not making a move, “With a bandage, you can’t see the wound.”

“Tear it off. It’s not a big deal if you need to reapply the medication,” she insisted firmly.

As he unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest, he whispered, “Should I take off my pants too?”
