Fitz looked at Sunny, who was now slightly yanking on a piece of her hair. At least she'd finally sat in a chair.
Keefe had gone to raid the cafeteria. Fitz refused to play any part in that whatsoever, and Sunny hadn't seemed very interested.
He looked back at her. She was still messing with her hair. He rolled his eyes, then reached out and took both of her hands, pulling them far away from her head. "Hey. Stopppp."
Sunny moaned annoyedly.
"I promise you, I'm fine. I think. It's just... I had an injury a few years ago. It still hurts sometimes. But it's nothing to worry about."
"And that's why you were literally screaming five minutes ago," Sunny said.
Fitz ignored her. He was too busy thinking about the rough but soft touch of her fingers and how warm she still was. Sunny didn't pull away, either, even after they'd been resting like that for 30 seconds. And suddenly, Fitz had completely forgotten about his leg and how much it hurt. He'd completely forgotten that he was in the Healing Center. And he'd forgotten that it was only 6:00 in the afternoon, and that he shouldn't be falling asleep.
