{miami} Michael forgets to pay attention...

[feel_theburn]

The things Sam had said to him were circling his mind still days later. Sam hadn't brought it up again, and Michael definitely hadn't, but...he couldn't shake it either. He could only keep telling himself that nothing was happening with Cordelia. Nothing that Sam had hinted at anyway. She was just a sweet girl who had been dropped into his lap in

Cordelia had been reading. It wasn't like she had anything better to do when Michael was out, and there was actually a pretty decent library not too far from where she was. She couldn't remember if she was a reader in her life before, but she definitely liked it now.

When she heard Michael arrive, though, she was definitely interested in some human company. She tossed her book down and made her way to the stairs. "Michael?" she asked as she jogged down, and stopped short when she saw the blood on his arm. "Oh my God."

He stopped short and looked up at her. He circled his hand tighter around his arm, wanting her to see as little of it as possible. "It's fine," he assured her. "Just a scrape. Happens all the time."

He looked down at his feet and moved away from her.

"That is not just a scrape. That is a gouge." She reached for the first aid kit. "Sit. I'll patch you up."

He looked at the first aid kit and then at her. "Have you...done this before?"
