Requiem
“Kim said, strolling into the waiting room.
It took me a moment to process that she was really there, and that I hadn’t conjured her from my wild imagination.
Kim paused for a moment to acknowledge Jared. When he nodded in her direction, she took a seat next to me.
She was in a white t-shirt and jeans, sporting black and white checkered Vans, and smelled of cigarettes. Her big, brown eyes didn’t falter. She didn’t seem nervous or out of place at all.
“What on earth are you doing here, Kim?” I as...ked.
She shrugged. “I could ask you the same question.”
“So go ahead. You seem to know all the right questions to ask, anyway,” I said, defiant.
“Kim’s just here to help,”
Jared said.
“Help how? How did she know?” I looked at Kim, then. “How did you know to come?”
“How did you know?” she asked. She was purposefully goading me, and I wanted to reach out, lace my fingers around her long neck and shake her with the tightest grip I could muster.
