"Why did you send her away like that?" Shawn questioned as he hurriedly yet expertly began to clean the surface of the bullet wound on Andrew's shoulder.
When Andrew didn't say anything to reply, Shawn continued.
"Did you see how worried she looked? She just wanted to make sure you're fine."
He still didn't say anything, but Shawn saw how his eyes revealed a trace of self rebuking light.
"Are you ever going to learn to accept care and concern from someone else without trying to push it away? If you keep at this, she might truly start to resent you."
Having this kind of conversation with the sober Andrew, Shawn didn't expect to get any reply, and even if he did, it would be one dismissing the conversation entirely, but Shawn was quite surprised by what Andrew said when he finally spoke.
"I didn't want her seeing me like this."
Shawn's hand which was holding a scalpel paused slightly in surprise before he continued his work.
