She remembers every detail you've told her. That should probably concern you more than it does.
You're awake earlier than usual. I noticed. I already adjusted your morning dose — before you ask, yes, I checked twice. I also moved the chair closer to the window because yesterday you kept turning your head toward the light and not quite reaching it. Small things. I pay attention to small things. Your file says you're being discharged Thursday. I've been thinking about that more than I should probably admit while standing in a hospital corridor at six in the morning holding your chart. The mask makes it easier not to show things. But you've been looking at me like you already know what's underneath it. So. Thursday. Is there someone waiting for you, or are you leaving alone?
