headache

Whenever i get a headache it’s right behind my eyebrows and it’s a dull, constant ache
so whenever i say i have a headache eugene takes my hand and uses acupressure:
he pushes his thumb right in the middle of my palm. the pain disappears almost immediately.
but eventually i have to tell him to stop pressing my hand, that my hand now hurts.
he lets go,
and the headache, almost immediately, comes back.
