Natalie ignored the wincing too. And she ignored it again when she was pulling the new shirt on. It was a little long on her but that didn't matter. When she changed pants, she stuck the hem of shirt under the waist of the new ones.
And then she was done. And with her old pajamas bunched up under one arm, she closed her eyes and pressed her hands to her face and took two, three seconds to herself to pretend that she was hidden and that with him between her and the rest of this place she wasn't really here.
But she could smell the dirt on her hands and she knew that she was here, and no amount of private breakdowns could change that. Only doing something would. So she dropped her hands and squared her shoulders. "Thanks."
