At some point, she finally took the ibuprofen he gave her and let herself fall asleep as she went from too-keyed-up still to incredibly exhausted.
She didn't wake up until a couple hours later, still tired but feeling... better, at least emotionally. Like she managed to break through a wall and come out on the other side. Physically, on the other hand - she would have been more than happy to just fall back asleep, but now that the shock had worn off, the pain that had been helping her keep herself together earlier now just hurt.
The idea of having to deal with her broken wrist was too much, still. Instead of getting up and finding ice, she pressed into Steve more and bit back a soft hiss of pain when she managed to jostle the wrist.
