A lot of men do that to their wives when they get married. Weird is the first man I've been around that encourages me in my work instead of telling me to go back to being a nurse like the other women."

"Just ice it and prop it up at hip level or higher when you can. That will keep the swelling down."

"If you don't rest it I'll have to call the Norwegian in to carry you for me."
She had noticed them looking at each other and though she wouldn't pry a friendly jest about it might get the punk talking or at least laughing while she took care of the ankle. "Why don't you pour us some drinks while I get ready to take care of your ankle?"
