" How you doing sweet heart". Cindy's southern drawl woke me from my light slumber. I looked at her from the crack of my eyes and thought if I should cuss her out for waking me.
" Don't look at me like that sweet heart. I know you just want to rest. But you need to take these pills the doctor prescribed". She handed me a cool glass of water and placed two pills in my hand. I put the pills on my tongue and took a swig of water. ". All of it". I did as she commanded. " How do you feel?". She laid on Rodney's side of the bed and bashed her eyelashes. It was like she was trying to be seductive and sincere at the same time.
" I'm fine." I sat up and put a pillow behind my back. " Just wish I would stop bleeding".
She shook her head. " Yea I know how you feel. I remember my first abortion". She stared into space. " Why did you do it anyway?".
" I gave it to Rodney". We both got quiet. Everything seemed still, the wind knocked on the windows and the trees blew. Rodney's clothes sat in one corner of the room, the only thing I kept was 2 of his night shorts and his army uniform. The rest I was giving to his mother.
" I hope this not changing your mind about the mission?". Cindy broke the silence.
" It's still on, nothing is gonna stop me".
