I don't usually write at midnight, but sometimes I get an idea at three in the morning.

Abnormality

He glances through my chart; he clears his throat, his expression unreadable.


He stands, flashes me an uncomfortable smile, and says, "I'll be right back."


I stare down at my peeling candy-red toenail polish and pull my feet under the chair, even though there's no one else in the room: I'm ashamed I haven't had a pedicure in over a month.


I'm wary of what he's going to say when he comes back into the room.
