Josiah nodded emphatically. “He didn’t think things through.”

Lysander glanced at him. It was quite clear who the “he” that Josiah was referring to.

However, Josiah suddenly felt that something was amiss.

“It’s hard to say. He might have done it on purpose. The balls that puppies usually play with are typically made of rubber. Who would buy a yarn ball for a dog?”

Lysander remained silent.

Uncertain about Lysander’s stance, Josiah timidly asked, “Are you really okay?”

The fall Lysander had just taken was indeed quite, sudden. Her face had landed directly onto his chest, and he could still feel a faint ache there. Lysander was likely in more pain than he was from the fall.

With these thoughts, he rose to his feet and took two strides toward her to grip her arm. “Let me see your face.”

Lysander turned her face sideways. “I’m fine.”

Josiah gently grasped her chin, turning her face back toward him. He studied her features closely for at moment, his furrowed brow easing slightly. “You look fine. There’s no swelling.”

Lysander fell silent for a moment.

“I’m not swollen either.”

Lysander looked up. “I just took a fall. Of course, I’m not swell.”

Josiah was still studying her profile, oblivious to what she was implying: “What?” Swell….

Suddenly, he realized what she meant. He had the slight urge to retort but was mostly taken aback. Het gently chided, “Your pun joke is dry.”

Lysander gently pushed his hand away, softly inquiring, “Tell me honestly. How did you get this wound?”
