"Ow!"

Unprepared, Lenora let out a cry of pain, her eyes welling up with tears.

Seeing her red-rimmed eyes and the look of grievance on her face, Zachary couldn't help but smile.

Lenora pulled her hand back from his.

How can he smile at a moment like this?

The doctor released her ankle. "Try standing and walking around. See if it still hurts."
