I paced the tiny waiting room. After Ben took off last week for the appointment to get the results of the rescan, he was unable to have today completely off. He had to do his rounds this morning while Charlie was in surgery, but he promised to be here as soon as they were done. I was so anxious I chewed my nails, knowing the manicure would be ruined and it would take money to get it fixed. I scolded myself a dozen times but continued to do it anyway.

When the door opened and Mindy walked in, I rushed to her for a hug because what words could even begin to describe how worried I was while my son had his head operated on? She held me for a moment while I shed a few tears then gestured at the couches. “Sit down, hun.”

I sat obediently, and she pulled a tissue out of her pocket and handed it to me so I could blow my nose. My face must have been a wreck. I opted to not even wear makeup today because I knew it would be washed off with my tears.

“How’s it going?” she asked, perched on the edge of the seat angled toward me.

“No news yet. They said three hours or so, but if there were complications it could take up to six.” I kneaded my hands in my lap, crushing the tissue in my grasp. The cold leather sofa was uncomfortable, the chill seeping into my skin. I never understood why they made hospitals so cold all the time.

“Well, no news is good news. At least that’s what they say.” Mindy reached into a pocket and pulled out another tissue. “For later,” she said, handing it to me. I took it and put it in my own pocket. The gesture was sweet, but I was certain I would need an entire box, not just one.

“Yeah,” I breathed, not sure I believed that. “Ben should be here soon. I appreciate your stopping by.”

Mindy wore a lab coat and nice clothes. I knew she was probably on the clock and just checking on me. She knew today was Charlie’s surgery because we had talked about it a number of times. She even knew how scared I was, and she had tried to reassure me just like Ben had.

“Do you want me to stay until he comes? I have a few minutes.” The offer was sweet, but I knew I wasn’t much company. I shrugged.

“Honestly, I think I’d rather be alone right now. I’m sorry. Is that okay?” I wiped my eyes with a dry corner of the tissue, and she nodded.

“I totally understand. You have my number if you need me, okay?” Mindy stood, and I stood with her, hugging her again.

“Thanks for being here for me. I appreciate your friendship more than you know.” I squeezed her hard then let her go.

“No problem, girl. Call me if you need me, okay?” Mindy backed away, vanishing out the door. It clicked into place, and my pacing recommenced.
