Taking a shower without getting the bandage on her arm wet proved impossible. “Hey, I don’t suppose your doctor friend sent along any fresh gauze or ointment?”

“I picked some up for you,” called Guy in return.

She turned off the water, pulled the shower curtain aside, and grabbed a towel.

“This stinks. I walk like a little old lady, and my arm is totally useless.”

“You can’t stand being vulnerable, can you?” His voice came right outside the door, gentle and without accusation.

Parker hugged the towel to her body, feeling exposed physically and emotionally. After a pause, she resumed drying herself. “Who does?”

“It doesn’t mean you aren’t strong, you know. Or any less competent.”

Parker’s lungs seemed to evacuate all air. How had he pinpointed her innermost fears on the first try?

“Parker … Daisy … Feeling pain, needing help, it’s part of being human. Don’t be afraid of it.” She heard him shifting outside, and she moved to put her hand on the door, as if touching him through the wood. His voice continued, even softer. “Sometimes ... sometimes I think we have those feelings so we’ll cling to each other, stay connected. Think how lonely it would be not to need someone else. Not to have them need you in return.”

She stood, dripping wet, too stunned to answer. He had torn open her soul and discovered her secrets, and she wasn’t sure how to react. No one else had tried. They had been rebuffed by her sarcastic, efficient, protective shell. She listened for more, but he remained silent. Maybe he had given up on her after all. And why not? They came from different worlds. They didn’t belong together.

Right?
