She didn’t know what was wrong, but she knew she had to go.
Let go of the sink.
Were her eyes red?
Let go of the sink.
“Everything okay?”
“Coming!”She let go of the sink.
Found the doorknob.Turned it.
Focus, focus, focus.
One foot in front of the other.
Everything’s fine.Just keep moving.Don’t stop, won’t stop.
Oh God.
She managed not to stumble as she made her way out into the hall where Jensen was waiting for her.He glanced up from his phone and put it in his pocket.
“Ready?”
“Yeah.”One foot in front of the other.Jensen obviously didn’t realize anything was wrong.Maybe she was sick?Maybe there was a tumor in her head, and it was making everything wonky.
For some reason, that made her want to giggle, but she suppressed it.
One foot in front of the other, out to the car.
Right foot.Left foot.Right foot.Left foot.
Open car door.
Sit down.
Okay, it was more like a controlled fall, but she made it!Hooray!
“Are you alright?”Jensen asked, sitting down in the driver’s seat.
“Great!”She beamed at him.“Everything is great.Isn’t there a song about that?Everything is great?”
“I think it’s called Everything is Awesome.”He eyed her.“You seem a lot more excited than you did earlier.”
“Oh… well… you know.Job.Money.”She waved her hand in front of her.
“Right.Um… seatbelt?”
“Right!”Crap, she’d forgotten her seatbelt.Concentrating, she managed to wrangle it over her body and click it into place.Click, click.She giggled again.
Cassidy stared out the window, pressing her hands into her lap to keep them from moving around the way they wanted to.The car started and began to glide down the street.
“It’s Cuppa Joe’s coffee shop, right?”Jensen asked.
“Yeah.”The name had stood out, so she remembered it, even though her brain wasn’t working properly right now.Maybe coffee would help whatever was going on with her.It couldn’t make things worse, right?
“And this is for the companion position?”
