"Dia menggeser berat badannya, melempar kakinya yang bagus dari tempat tidur seolah dia akan mencoba berdiri. "Apa yang kamu lakukan?" Aku menuntut melalui air mata. "Berbaringlah, idiot, kau akan melukai dirimu sendiri!" Aku melompat berdiri dan mendorong bahunya yang baik ke bawah dengan dua tangan. Dia menyerah, bersandar ke belakang dengan rasa sakit, tetapi dia menggenggam pinggangku dan menarikku ke tempat tidur, di samping sisi baiknya. Aku meringkuk di sana, berusaha menahan isak-isak konyol di kulitnya yang panas."

He shifted his weight, throwing his good leg off the bed as if he were going to try to stand. “What are you doing?” I demanded through the tears. “Lie down, you idiot, you’ll hurt yourself!” I jumped to my feet and pushed his good shoulder down with two hands. He surrendered, leaning back with a gasp of pain, but he grabbed me around my waist and pulled me down on the bed, against his good side. I curled up there, trying to stifle the silly sobs against his hot skin.
