Blood and Mercy
“You put your head down and you survive it. But you need to take care of yourself too. You can’t keep running on empty.”
“I know.”
“Do you?” She pauses.
“Why do you care so much, Cass? About this guy specifically. I’ve seen you work with difficult patients before and you don’t let them get to you like this. So what makes him different?”
I open my mouth to answer.
Then close it.
Because how do I tell her the truth? That, every time I look at him, I see what my family destroyed. That this isn’t a job—it’s penance, and no matter how cruel he is or how hard this gets, I deserve every second of it?
