Use the paragraphs to answer the question.

On the day they set out, she fixated on the sun hovering high in the sky. It blazed down on them, abusing their skin and reminding her that there was no shelter to be found. It taunted her, highlighting just how unfair the situation was.

But after two weeks on the road, she softened toward the elements. Now when the sun peeked from the horizon each morning, its kiss was familiar and desired. It reminded her just how far they had come.

How do the words abusing and taunted share a similar denotation?
