The doctor's voice is soft,
kind.
Like an angel's.

Tammie
is threatening.
She knows.
She doesn't need to ask.
What answer

She tilts her head.
Smiles wider.
Turns back to her keyboard
and continues to type.
The sterile office
is filled with the clicking
of keys.

I whisper.
The typing stops for a moment.
Because she's
holding down
the backspace button.
She nods at me
and continues typing.
We met in secondary school.
She was my only friend.

She's facing me again.
Her eyes
attentive,
her hands
folded,
on the table in front of her.
