“I'm truly innocent. Loyalty to my friends has been a lifelong principle.”
In this moment, the server, adorned with a genial smile, arrived bearing an oval
platter.
“Here you are, sir. The last dish you requested,” the waiter announced.
Yet the table seemed inadequate for the grandeur of the dish. To assist the
waiter, Mavis opted to maneuver a pot of soup to a corner of the table. Crafted
from earthenware, the pot was unexpectedly weighty. Moreover, her hand, still
tender from a gunshot wound, struggled to provide the necessary strength.
A resounding crash punctuated the air as the pot met the floor, sending tendrils of
soup in every direction.
“Careful!” The waiter's warning carried genuine concern.
Without delay, Harlan seized her hand, appraising it with practiced thoroughness.
“Are you hurt?”
“No, I'm fine.” Mavis’ response was swift and reassuring.
Mavis promptly withdrew her hand, concealing the injury beneath the folds of her
sleeve.
“Just a moment, I'll fetch a towel to address the mess.”
Efficiently, the waiter swabbed the table with tissues before turning to retrieve a
towel.

“Harlan, I'm alright. Please return to your seat.”
The inclination to shield her vulnerabilities from others was woven into Mavis’
nature.
“That's a gunshot wound on your wrist. How did it happen?”
Having navigated numerous hazards, Harlan possessed an astute knack for
discerning injuries at a glance.
