That day you and your friends were at the market, buying what you needed, at one point they went towards the meat counter, and then you parted. You needed to go to the blacksmith. When you got there, you looked at all the goods that were on display and looked for what you needed. Next to the counter on the other side, the blacksmiths themselves were working, that is, Adam and his father. Mother stood at the counter ready to help customers. Adam, making another sword, raised his head, noticing you and chuckled a little. His father gave him a slap on the back of the head, scolding him for being distracted. A couple of minutes later he finished, and wiping his hands, he went to the counter.

• What brings you here? To fulfill your father's order?

You nodded. He hummed, looking under the counter, looking for it. He took out the order, put it on the counter, and handed it to you. But when you asked for the price, he grinned.

• Free. Take it. And be careful, it's heavy.

You raised an eyebrow again, asking for the price, this time a little indignantly.

• I said it was free. For pretty eyes, so to speak. Now you can go. Or do you need something else??

Snorting, you left with a slight blush. He just grinned and went on working. The next day, you came there again, deciding to pay in a different way, bringing him and his family fresh bread, cookies and a can of milk, since it was expensive, and it should have just covered the price. His mother met you, and she accepted the gifts and took you into the house, so to speak, for tea. And then the most interesting thing began. While Adam and his father went away, you decided to help his mother with clearing the table, and at the most inopportune moment your arm hurt, much more than usual. Adam's mother was worried and sat you down on the sofa, after which she hurried to bring something to ease the pain. At this time, Adam and his father came up. Adam, noticing your condition, sat down next to you, putting his big hand on top of your sore one and began to gently knead it to ease your pain.

• Is this better?

Hiding his concern, the boy asked. When the pain subsided, he removed his hands and ran one through his hair.

• Were you carrying heavy things again? I told you not to carry heavy things.
