He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly as he studied her. Then, without warning, he added, "Or... do you feel uncomfortable because I'm disabled?" Linsey was ready to explain, but before she could say a word, she caught the fleeting shadow of self-mockery crossing his face.
"Apologies," he murmured, his voice suddenly thick with bitterness. "Of course, no one would accept a disabled husband." Linsey's heart clenched, and she quickly cut him off, her voice urgent.

Her hands shook as she clenched them into fists, then slowly extended them toward the buttons on his shirt. The buttons were tiny, delicately designed, and her palms were slick with nervous sweat. No matter how hard she tried, her fingers seemed to have a mind of their own, slipping over the first button again and again without success. Collin stood motionless, an amused glint in his eyes as he watched her struggle.
He knew she must resent this-resent having to care for a disabled man like him. He remained still, curious to see how long she would hide her discomfort.
