Aadhi
Wrapping an arm around Ithu's shoulder but making sure not to crush her too much with my weight, I take her support to walk back to the bed after the shower.
"We need to put a fresh bandage on it.." She helps me back on the bed and points at the only open wound on my abdomen.
I nod and lean back to give her access to the injured area.
She cleaned the wound earlier while I was under the shower, so she doesn't clean it again. Taking a deep breath, she inspects the broken skin. I haven't seen it but I can tell from the sore that the gash is rather deep and stitched.
"It's healing fast.." She mumbles as she slowly grazes the tip of her finger over it. Her touch is feather soft, almost non-existent but every cell in my body is attuned to her touch, yearning to get closer to her.
