Part 2- Chapter 18

"So Maria, now I don't know the details but I heard you went through an ordeal while you were away. How are you feeling emotionally?" He questioned as he began removing the stitches.

I sucked in a deep breath. "Wow, have you even started? I can't feel a thing" I bit my lip.

"I stock the best numbing cream in the country. Now you're avoiding the question" he stated as he worked.

I sighed he was right. I was avoiding the question. I didn't want to talk about it not to anyone and definitely not to a stranger to Which this man ultimately was.

"I'm not avoiding the question per say.. There is just not much to talk about. What happened has happened and now I am just looking forward and not looking back" I spoke slowly.

The man was right in my face and it's awkward having to breath all on his face whilst I answer his questions.
