Normally Alex went to Sanagi when he got injured. It had become a regular thing with them now. Today he had her make a house call.

Letting her work as he always did. He was used to her presence and touch. When her fingers traced over one of the old scars… His hand snapped up to grab her hand. His touch though was gentle, yet restrained. A simple reaction because none of the scars he bore was earned gently. A part of him though recognized Sanagi as someone he trusted and was able to keep himself from hurting her.

“Sana…” His eyes looked conflicted as he first looked at her and then down to his hand holding hers. Slowly he withdrew his hand as he closed his eyes. “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to startle you.”
