I knew he was in pain in the moment he limped into the door.
"What in the world happened?"
"I got a Charlie Horse on the very the last play of the game. It was all I could do to limp off the field. It's a little better now, but it still hurts like hell."
"It serves you right. You work in an office all week without any exercise and then on the weekend you want to play football with all your old college cronies. Iβll tell you what, go take a nice warm shower and I'll try to massage the kinks out for you before dinner."
He hobbled off towards the bedroom and I went into the kitchen to put dinner on the back burner. By the time I had gathered the massage oils and went into the bedroom, he was coming out of the shower, hair disheveled with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Okay, lay face down and let me take care of you. Raise up and get rid of the towel."
