The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia couldn't bear to look, so she buried her face in Tyler's chest.

As the nurse inserted the needle into her vein, Olivia felt a sharp pain but remained silent. Her body trembled while Tyler held her close, his gaze fixed on the tube as her bright red blood flowed through it. Tyler's eyes reflected his pain as he tightened his embrace.

The blood draw was over quickly. The nurse removed the needle, and Tyler held Olivia even closer, reassuring her, "Okay, you're okay now."
