Brooke's p.o.v

"You appear to be a little off" Milicent observes. She still cares about me long after our brief heart

to heart talk. "I am fine" I lie hoping she would get off my case. "I am here if you need any

assistance personal or work related" Millicent offers. "Thanks. You are a true best friend" I validate

her. I check on True who working the cash register. "You look unwell. You must go home" True

advises me. My declining health prevents me from arguing with her. Millicent drives me to the

hospital where I undergo an emergency D&C.
