When I stepped into the room reserved for Laura's medical practice, the first thing I noticed was the mild tension that assailed the room. Laura wasn't comfortable with the boys-at least it was obvious to me-she was only here because she loved her job.
When I came in, however, they all turned to look at me, including Adam who was lying with his back on the same bed I had spent months in.
"Dora, you are back?"
I nodded to Laura's question, gesturing with my head at Daniel who wasn't sporting his usual smirk, not until I indicated his involvement with my walk home.
"I came with him. He told me about the matter. Are you okay?"
Laura nodded, understanding what I was talking about. She will be fine with treating the boys who had made me this way.
To think that we had talked and laughed about this, during the night that the Queen had paid me a visit, the night I had told my family everything, and it was happening now. What a coincidence.
