My Boss, My Husband
Blood made me queasy—a deep, irrational fear.
"A little. Am I bleeding? If I am, don't tell me. Actually, no, do tell me," I rambled. "If I see blood, I might faint. I'm serious—I'll literally faint."
"There are a few tiny glass shards embedded in your hand. I'll remove them with tweezers. Hold still," he instructed, sounding very professional.
His calm voice soothed my nerves. The process was uncomfortable, but as he kept reassuring me that he was almost done, I felt myself relax. The only thing that didn't ease was the burning sensation in my eyes—they were still red and irritated.
