“It’s no problem,” said Helen, and gave him a full smile in return. “Wouldn’t do it if it was, would I?”

Yeah, you would. You would for Frank. ♥

I love this. Helen being concerned and trying not to show too much concern before it frightens Frank off for good, and Frank - poor beaten up and beaten down Frank - downplaying his injuries and trying to be all stoic. I'd smack him upside the head except he doesn't need the extra pain.

Thanks for sharing this. It really was sweet.
