I was glad I had chosen to just wear the oversized t-shirt. It was easy enough to get off me. Then I paused. I had the tight

wrapping around my ribs and I didn’t know what to do.

‘Hugo, I was about to shower, but what do I do with the bandages?” I asked.

‘Beta Amie, the best thing is if you could avoid to shower. Just wash yourself with a washcloth. If you really need to

shower, remove the bandage and let me know. I will put them back on once you are done,’ he told me.

‘I will just wash then. Thank you.’ I walked into the bathroom and did my best to wash up without getting the wrapping wet. Next step was an expedition to find something to wear. I had mostly packed regular t-shirts and tank tops. It seemed

logical at the time. I finally found the summer dress Medow had insisted I bring. It was flowy with thin spaghetti straps.

Just what I needed. I had to thank Medow when we get back.

‘I’m all done,’ Finlay mindlinked. I smiled and walked over to his room. He walked up to me and stood so close I could

see the different hues of blue in his eyes. But he didn’t reach for me, or touch me in any way. ‘I don’t want to hurt you,’

he told me. I smiled and took his hands and wrapped his arms around me. Then I wrapped my arms around him. Gently,

to make sure I didn’t worsen an injury. I sighed and relaxed. Finlay tilted his head and rested his cheek on top of my

head.

‘I hated watching you fight,’ I told him.

‘You are supposed to tell me how strong and impressive I was,’ he pointed out. I giggled.

‘You were both. I still hated it.’

‘Yeah, it has been a long time since I felt as helpless as when I had to watch you get hurt,’ he said.

‘We won’t be doing this again anytime soon.’

‘No. We have other things to do,’ he agreed.

‘Can you believe it’s finally over? No more games.’

‘We made it to the end.’

‘And in two days we will know the results,’ I said.

‘We will have some time to heal and decompress before the results and before heading home,’ Finlay told me.

‘My brother will help me get a meeting with James.’

‘And if James refuses?’ he asked.

‘Then Becky will let me know when he is out and about and I will just have to do it in public. I’m really hoping it won’t

come to that. My first rejection was public, and I hated it. I would like my second one to be private,’ I told him.
