Evan

He found her on the highway, under a car. Wounded, a bullet in her leg. He picked her up, along with her belongings and the bear. Carrying her, he looked around for danger. He felt blood seep onto his hand. He began to hurry. Knowing he had to save Cassie.

He performed surgery to remove the bullet. He had experience removing sharp rocks deep in horse's hooves. He had hoped that was enough of an experience for the surgery on Cassie. It was enough.

He then took her to the bathroom. He began filling up the bathtub. Removing her clothes without looking, which proved to be a challenge. He placed her in the bathtub and added bubble bath so that he wouldn't need to see any more than he needed to.

Later on, he dried her and and struggled to put fresh clothes on her. He carried her up the stairs to his sister's bedroom. He laid her on the bed and tucked her in. He leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
