Capítulo 116: Gentle touch (2)

"Can I touch you?" Rafael asked before he did so. He was still aware of how she did not like to be touched and though he wanted to deal with her hand quickly, he wanted to get her permission first. He wanted to respect her space and not push on her that he was going to take her hand to deal with her wound.

"You can," Annalise replied. 

It needed to be dealt with now before the blood could drop down onto the floor. She opened her right hand all the way so he could see the long slash she gave herself.

Annalise had actually picked up the sword to feel how heavy it was and when the door started to open, she panicked when putting it back and accidentally grabbed the blade.

"You are lucky that it is not deep," Rafael said as he inspected the long mark. It could be taken care of easily but she might be left with the scar from it. "How did you even cut the palm of your hand? Did you pick up the sword?"

"Would I be in trouble if I did?" Annalise asked.
