Natalia
I sit nervously at a table inside the hospital's cafeteria. Mrs. Hoffman, looking as classy and formal as always, wearing a skirt suit and high heels, walks towards me with her food in her hands, and my anxiety peaks as she gets closer.
"Hello Natalia", she says with a melancholic smile, while setting her salad on the table. "Hi." I smile back at her, shyly, trying very hard to put on armor, so that she can't see how nervous her presence is making me. Mrs. Hoffman sits down, and she looks me in the eyes before speaking. "You have changed a lot. I barely recognized you", she says. Her eyes scan me, taking in my new appearance, all the way to my red nail polish and my long pink curls.
