Chapter 75: Losing it.

As the evening wore on, Jennifer stood up, her legs trembling slightly beneath her. "I think I'll head to bed now," she said, her voice soft, her eyes avoiding Henry's gaze. She had been feeling uncomfortable all night, And she couldn't wait to escape the tension that seemed to build every time they were together. But as she took her first step, Her heel caught on the edge of the carpet, and she felt herself falling. Henry rushed to her side, his arms outstretched, and caught her before she hit the ground. His hands grasped her arms firmly, and he pulled her close, his face inches from hers. "I've got you," He said, his voice low and reassuring, his warm breath on her skin making her heart race. But as he tried to help her stand, Jennifer realized she couldn't put weight on her ankle. A sharp pain shot through her leg, and she winced, her eyes watering. "Ah, my ankle," she cried, her voice trembling. Henry quickly sat her down on the couch, his hands moving to her heels.
