I wondered, “Kill herself? So, is that their family’s talent passed down through generations?”
I wasn’t sure what drove me, but I asked, “Do you need me to come with you?”
Maybe I wanted to see if it was true.
Or maybe I was worried. God forbid something happened, and Bryant had no one else he could trust.
Bryant looked at me, surprised. “Would you?”
“Let’s go.” I grabbed my bag, and we headed to the hospital.

The scene felt almost comical to me. But, given the seriousness of the moment, laughing seemed inappropriate. So, I forced myself to think of all the sad
Bryant, Margaret, Albert, and Teresa were behind the ER doors. If you were to map out their relationships, it’d look more tangled than at spider’s web.
