"Dr. Enklfir, you seem frustrated." And for good reason.
For the past ten minutes, this woman has been trying to get some sort of reaction from me - anger, sadness, nervousness, happiness, anything really.

"Oh, it was just great, really." She seems happy as she starts up the car and drives out of the parking lot. "How does four cheese garlic pasta and cherry pie sound tonight?" "That sounds great! Let's stop by the grocery." We both smile lightly as Mom continues to drive down the road.
