Burns Quote by Charlene Hartnady
““His upper back, a black charred mess. “Oh no,” she whispered, her heart racing. She felt her eyes prick with tears but sucked them back. She couldn’t fall apart. She needed to stay strong for Tide . “Is it that bad?” His voice sounded surprisingly normal . "Um …" She cleared her throat. "You have first degree burns covering two-thirds of your back.””
