“It’s pretty swollen.” He held her foot gently, turning it slowly to examine her injury. His fingers lightly touched the flourishing bruise and she drew back her leg in pain.
“Don’t touch it, please.” Her cuffed hands went up and her gaze pleaded with his. He turned his head to look at the darkness of the tunnel and back at her.
