I hated seeing her so broken, and at that moment I had quietly promised her and myself that I would make her feel whole again. I would be the one that showed her how strong she was again. First, that meant taking extra care of her, if I could mend her broken body. To make her feel fit again, it would be easier for the rest to follow.
