Walking out of the interview room with a nonchalant expression, Desmond found Sara waiting for him with a bowl of water and a towel. Thick blood trickled from Desmond's left hand, and it took a moment for Desmond to understand Sara's intentions.
With his right hand still immobilized, Desmond accepted the help of Sara, who used the water in the bowl to wash Desmond's left arm. It would be a lie if Desmond said he didn't enjoy the attention and treatment; after all, he was like any other human being, vulnerable to temptation.
Not everyone could have a young beauty like Sara willing to do basically anything. Receiving such devotion and attention from one person could be intoxicating. While Desmond didn't allow himself to be intoxicated by that feeling, he still found the whole experience somewhat pleasurable.
