My hand trembled as I pulled away from Enzo, watching as a whole host of emotions played across his face. I was still in shock; he had flinched from my touch.

*Enzo," I murmured, "what really happened with your wrist?"

Enzo let out a long sigh, but said nothing for a while. I kept waiting, thinking to myself that he would tell me the truth any moment, but he never did. It was as if he was battling with himself, trying to decide if he wanted to tell me the truth or not.

He turned to face me, his expression guarded. "Nina, I've already told you-it was just a hockey accident. Look, already healed, see?" As he spoke, he tugged his sleeve up to reveal his wrist.
