" S-Sorry...I di-dn-n't w-want to... i-inf-fect you b-by acc-cid-dent...w-with th-the c-cur-se...I d-don't...w-want to h-hur-rt any-yone." she said, voice quivering slightly, looking back at her hand again.
She was relieved nothing had gone wrong, but still rahter sickened by the thought of what could have been. After all the kindness Mitch had shown her, he could have died!
