Serenity held the watering can in her right hand and raised it when she turned to look at him. She was showing him that she was using her right hand. She injured her left hand.
“It’s tiring if you only use one hand too. I told Mrs. Lane to take good care of these flowers. You don’t have to worry about them.”
Zachary took the watering can from her hand and did not allow her to water the flowers. He pulled her to the swing chair and pressed her down to the seat. “Here’s your favorite spot. Just sit here and swing. I’ll go into the house and get you a coat.”
“I’m not cold.”

“I’ll go cook now. Call me if you need anything. Don’t touch the water.”
Zachary exhorted her again and returned to the kitchen to prepare their dinner.
