It was only after that I touched my earlobe, finding the blood had already dried up, leaving behind some crusty red scabs..

Fiddling with it made my ear throb with pain again.

“How come your disses are always so funny?”

Her rant somehow lifted the gloom that had settled on me for the day.

Christine glared at me, “With a friend like you, I’ve had to learn how to curse.” “Oh.”

I let her take care of my ear. The iodine felt cold but not too painful.
