Pain Killers

Chap 1

'Caleb. Please take your painkillers. You'll feel better afterwards!' Hanna insisted.

'No! They make me feel too drowsy. Besides, I've been trough worse pain then this, don't need them!' Caleb rebuked.

'Caleb, you had to have surgery for a gun shot wound to the leg! Those pain killers aren't just to help you have relief, but to also help prevent infection! And I know you've been having trouble sleeping, and I know it's because you've been in a lot of pain!'

'What are you, my mom? I can take care of myself.'

'I'm your wife! I care about you! I don't want to see you suffering! If I was in your situation, wouldn't you be feeling what I'm feeling right now?!' Hanna exclaimed, desperate for him to pay attention.

That's when Caleb went silent.

'No, I wouldn't want you to suffer.' He softly said.

'So you'll take them then?'

'Sigh. Yes. I'll go take 1 right now.'

So he did. And as much as he didn't want to admit, he slept really good.
