Tristan paused for a moment before asking, "Why do you always manage to make such a mess of things?"

I had no answer. I didn't want this either, but that was just how life was—constantly throwing unexpected "surprises" my way. I thought, 'What can I do about it?'

I forced a bitter smile. "Does it look that bad? My hand will be fine by tomorrow, and I've still got a ton of work piling up."
