'Are you ready?' She asked.
I nodded. Tears rolled down my face. I was scared. I walked behind her to the bathroom.
'Here,' she handed me a small plastic cup, 'do you want me to leave?' She asked.
I looked into the toilet and that made my head spin even more.
'No. Please, stay with me.' I held her hand.
She smiled and nodded.
I did the whole thing with her watching me. I peed in the cup and a lot of it ended up on my hand. When I held the cup up, it felt very warm. I put it in the sink, and she sighed.
'Let me do it.' She moved closer to the sink and opened the strip.
She dipped it in the cup half full of my urine and stared at it hard.
I should have been watching the strip but I watched her instead. She was so focused on what she was doing, that it felt like she had totally forgotten I was there. Then like she was jerked up from some kind of daydream, she pulled the strip out of the cup and looked at it.
