Landon finished the granola bar from the last care package he’d received and closed his wall locker just as LCpl Wallis poked her head into the berthing.

“Hey HM2. I hit my hand and something is wrong with it.”

“Let me see.” Landon met her at the door. She held out her purple bruised and swollen thumb. The edges of fading yellow discoloration spread down to her wrist, the nail bed was raised with a blood blister underneath, and she flinched when he pushed against the finger pad. “When did you do this?”

“A couple of days ago.” She shrugged.

He released her hand. “And you’re just telling me now.”

“I figured I’d go to the ER when we got home if it got any worse.” She cradled her arm to her chest and avoided his stare.

“What exactly did you do?” Landon folded his arms and waited for the truth.

“I, uh.” She looked away. “I slammed it in the taxi door when we were in port.”

Landon laughed. “How drunk were you?”

“I made it back on ship, didn’t I?”

“Come on.” He shook his head. “Let’s get you to medical and get it checked out.”
