After dinner, Lisa was washing the dishes. Suddenly she heard Carl Black's voice from her back "I'll help you."
She was frightened by the sudden appearance of Carl Black and she dropped the dish that she was holding to wash. Small pieces of the broken dishes were scattered on the ground. Both of them squatted and started picking up the pieces.
Carl Black said with a low voice "I am sorry. Did I scare you?"
A small broken piece pierced her index finger.
"Hiss..." Lisa hissed in pain.
He held her hand immediately and pulled out the broken piece from her finger. Blood was oozing out of the wound. He pressed her finger tightly to stop the bleeding and said in a hoarse voice "Does it hurt?"
She was feeling very nervous at that moment and couldn't react. She blinked a few times before she fixed her gaze at him. Her heart was beating so fast as if it was ready to jump out from her mouth. She lost all the words so she kept quiet while staring at him.
