“What did Doctor Wilson say?” Sara said as she worked on separating River and Ginger from the wagon.

The familiar sounds of metal against leather set Daniel’s teeth on edge. He should have been the one unhitching the horses.

He should have been the one here when a man frightened his wife, instead of off finding out if he’d ever be any use in protecting her again.

He deliberately uncurled his fists which he couldn’t remember clenching. “The burns are healing normally and the bump’s gone down. He said it’s good I don’t have a headache anymore.”

“And your eyes?”

He shrugged one shoulder, attempting to appear unconcerned. “He doesn’t know why I can’t see, could be the burns, could be hitting my head. He said it’s just a matter of waiting.”

“But your sight will return, won’t it?”

He didn’t need to see her to tell she was worried. It filled her voice.

“He doesn’t know.”

The sound of her movements stilled. “It’s only been two days. You just need time to heal, that’s all.”

He didn’t answer. It sounded like such a short amount of time and yet the past two days had dragged on for what seemed like forever. He wanted to get out to his fields and work. He wanted to not have to feel his way whenever he walked anywhere. He wanted to not have to ask if he’d finished everything on his plate at the end of a meal. He wanted to know he could protect his wife when someone scared her.

He wanted to stop feeling useless.

“I’m sure you’re right.”

Except he wasn’t sure, not at all.
