A few days ago:
"Thank you."
Annie said as she took a pill from Ken and swallowed it. Her bruises disappeared quickly, and her breath got even; she was always amazed by how effective Ken's pills were.
"It's all right, you don't have to thank me. I thought we were too close to need to say thanks. Besides, I have plenty of fourth-grade pills."
Ken shook his head and waved his hand to show his disapproval at Annie's gratitude.
"You're right, but it also means you can never refuse my requests."
She grinned at his words cheekily and leaned against his shoulder. He stroked her hair gently with his hand, making her relax at his touch.
"Let's put it to the test then. I have a gift for you."
"Really? What is it?" Annie raised her head in surprise. She already felt like she should find more ways to contribute to Ken given how much she benefited from their relationship.
