"Ugh," Fanny winced as Yates applied the ointment to her scraped skin. It hadn't hurt when she got the injury, but the medicine stung like hell.

Yates paused, "Want me to be gentler?"

"It hurts even if you don't touch it. Being gentle won't make a difference," Fanny replied softly.

Yates understood what she meant. "I'm sorry, Fanny. I couldn't protect you, or find you right away."
