In the morning, when Toya got up and washed up, she twisted around in front of the dressing table mirror to look at her bruised shoulders.
The medicine that Reyes took didn't have a pungent smell, but it was effective. The place where he applied the medicine was no longer swollen.
Anna didn't go easy on her. It still hurt.
After looking at her back, Toya lowered her head and lifted her skirt to reveal her thighs.
There was a small bruise on the outside of her thigh. She had noticed this bruise the day before, but because it was small, only the size of a fingernail, she thought that it would be gone after a nap. She didn't expect it to still be there this morning.
It was a little numb.
When Reyes left last night, he put the medicine on the coffee table.
Toya took the medicine and rubbed it on her thigh.
When she came downstairs, Reyes was already at the dining room table.
