<div style="text-align: justify;">Cassandra would really love to believe that what had happened had been nothing but someone's child playing a prank on the new neighbors. And she probably would have convinced herself to believe, had it not been for one detail - there were no children around to be seen. And to have done that level of damage, there should be something to account for it, like a rock. And apparently there was nothing. Not that Cassandra had spent a long time examining the area. She was much more concerned about Blake at the moment, since he had been the victim of the glass shards. Shaking her head, Cassandra wondered what the hell was happening. Since they had moved in, both of them had gotten injured, and it had been what? Less than twenty-four hours?<br/><br/>Blake's hand on her arm made Cassandra attempt to relax a little. She wasn't really reassured by it, but she didn't want to concern her husband. The last thing he needed right now was more stress, after all. His words about it being <span style="font-style: italic">but a scratch</span> didn't really ring true, but Cass tried to smile and pretend everything was all right. <span style="color: #FFFF00">"I'm sorry, honey"</span>, she apologized as he commented on it looking like she had seen a ghost. I any other occasion, Cassandra would have laughed and brushed off the notion of a ghost, but this time, she limited her response to an apology. <span style="color: #FFFF00">"Don't touch it, honey"</span>, Cass required, when she saw Blake plucking out a few pieces of glass from his skin. <span style="color: #FFFF00">"Let me check this out, I must have a pair of tweezers somewhere"</span>. <br/><br/>Showing a tight-lipped smile when Blake called her Doctor Bradley, Cassandra nodded and left the room in silence. She made a few noises in the next room,indicating she was going through a box, before returning with a pair of tweezers and a first aid kit. <span style="color: #FFFF00">"I'm sorry about this, honey"</span>, Cassandra murmured, while plucking glass shards off of Blake's skin. <span style="color: #FFFF00">"Does it hurt too much?"</span>, she completed, wondering why she was feeling so guilty. It wasn't like she had personally harmed her husband, but something in her felt uneasy.</div>
