Water cascaded over Zev's back, tracing the ridges of old wounds that had long since closed yet refused to fade. Kelly held the showerhead steady, her grip firm, though something in her eyes wavered. She said nothing, only watching as the water carried away the day's dust but could do nothing for the scars beneath.

Zev studied her face. "Will my hand ever be the same?" His voice was quiet, almost hesitant.

Kelly met his gaze. "Can you play the piano?"

He frowned. "No."

"Then you've got nothing to worry about. It's just a broken bone. It'll heal. Your nerves are fine." She spoke as if stating a simple fact, as if willing it to be true. With measured movements, she squeezed toothpaste onto his brush and handed it to him.

Zev, uncharacteristically compliant, allowed her to brush his teeth without protest. He sat still, far removed from the restless patient he had been in the hospital.

The only thing betraying him now was his hand. The rest of him sat still, almost unnervingly so.

"So why does it feel numb when I touch you?" He took advantage of the moment, running his fingers over her arm, testing his own sense of touch.

Kelly sighed. "That's what happens when you crush your hand. The same thing would happen if you got it stuck in a door."

Zev exhaled sharply, then slung an arm around her and pulled her closer. "Honey, I think I'm dying."

That was too slow for a reflex movement.

Kelly shot him a look. "Where?"

"Everywhere," he muttered into her shoulder. "My hand, my leg, my pride. My soul hurts."

Kelly hesitated. She should push him away.

But something about the way he held on, the way his weight pressed against her, made it impossible to move. Even a stray dog looking for warmth wouldn't be turned away.

She nudged him. "Rinse your mouth." Then, without warning, she turned the showerhead on him, dousing

his face.

Water dripped from his hair, ran down the sharp lines of his nose, and clung to his lashes.

Even soaked, he looked infuriatingly good,
