Derek was inspecting the damage to his arm in the mirror when Julia entered
the room. It wasn't as bad as he thought, of it wasn't a good as he hoped
either. He turned towards her with a slight smile.
"Thank you," he said and moved over to her. He put both hands on he
shoulders and looked down into her eyes, now the distress there was clear to
him. His head had cleared some.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He put his arms around her hugging her closely and
kissing the top of her head.
She wanted to say 'nothing' but that would be an outright lie. So she
settled on holding him gently and shaking her head, just wanting to feel him
near. Then, knowing his injuries had to be tended to she parted enough to
motion him toward the edge of the bed.
When it looked like he'd try and ask again what was wrong she just looked at
him, unable to hide what she was feeling and asked "Please.. just.. let me
do this. I just need a minute and you need to get wrapped up."
