Page 27 of Memories of Me

I felt like I was going to be sick. "I need a bathroom."

"There's one right…"

"Brandt?" Dr. Surai headed down the hallway toward us.

"Go. I'll talk to her."

I nodded and raced to the bathroom, holding my mouth. I just barely made it to the sink. I turned on the water to drown out the sound and then cleaned up afterward. When I finally rejoined Brandt in the hallway, you would have thought he was the one who had just been sick. He was as white as a ghost.

"Is everything okay? What did the doctor need?"

"Oh, nothing. She just wanted to make sure we had her card if we had any other questions."

"Are you sure, because you looked a whole lot less ghostly a few minutes ago?"

"Everything's fine. Come on. Let's get you home."
