I stepped up behind her. “Let me.” My hands dropped to her shoulders, and she stiffened.
“Hey,” I said. “It’s just a shoulder rub.” I gently dug in my thumbs, and she groaned even louder than I’d groaned at the food.
“You don’t need to— Oh!” Her head tipped back as I hit a knot.
“Shh,” I said. “Relax.”
