*****

When Tilly arrived for her shift, the first place she went was to Baila’s room. But when she got there, the room was empty. No Baila on the bed, no Faigy sitting beside her.

“The mother removed her from life support earlier today,” a nurse informed Tilly when she inquired.

Tilly felt horrible. She wanted to be there for Faigy when Baila’s life support was removed. And now she had no clue where Faigy was or how to contact her. Or did she? There had to be a number on file for Faigy. And perhaps an address, too. But Tilly didn’t know how to look up all of these things without drawing attention, and suspicion, to herself. Jen might be able to help, Tilly thought as she raced around the ER looking for her friend.

“You need me to look up what?” Jen asked when Tilly finally found her.

“I need you to look up a patient. Their phone number, address, anything.”

“You’re scaring me, Til,” Jen said. “Is this about that woman and her daughter?”

Tilly gave Jen a sheepish smile and nodded.

“You really like her?” Jen asked.

“I—I don’t know,” Tilly stammered.

“Her community doesn’t accept homosexuality. You are most likely reading into something that isn’t even there. You’re my best friend and I don’t want your heart to get broken.”

Tilly sighed. “Then as my best friend, I need you to find her phone number and address.”

“Okay, okay. Give me a few.”

Tilly waited impatiently while Jen went to search on the computer for Faigy’s information. She could Jen was mad at her but Tilly couldn’t understand why. If Faigy wasn’t interested, Jen would be right.

“Alright, here it is,” Jen said, holding a paper with writing on it. “It’s in Brooklyn, that much I know. I couldn’t tell you exactly how to get there.”

“It’s fine, I’ll figure it out. Thanks, Jen. I don’t know how to thank you enough.”

“There’s one thing,” Jen smirked. “Come to my place if it doesn’t work out.”

Tilly laughed. “My ego will be so crushed; I’ll need someone to make it better.”

“I’m your girl!”

Tilly kept herself busy until the end of her shift. It was eight in the morning and she was tired. She hopped on the train and went home to shower, take a quick nap, and change into better clothes. She didn’t want to show up at Faigy’s house in her scrubs. How awkward. She wanted no one to recognize her.

At eleven o’clock, Tilly locked her apartment door and got back onto the train. She used an app on her phone that gave her directions to the address Jen wrote down. The whole way there, Tilly was a nervous mess. What if Faigy told her to leave? What if someone recognized her as the doctor from the hospital?

The stop came and Tilly got off the train, following where her phone told her to go. She turned a corner and saw a group of women gathered on the stoop of a building. They were all dressed in black and as Tilly approached, they all grew quiet and watched her.
