I sat in the waiting room, the faint hum of fluorescent lights pressing in on me. The magazines on the table were brand new, but I didn’t bother picking one up, particularly the one with my face on the front and the headline about me dating some big country singer. My phone was in my pocket, but I didn’t reach for it to contact anyone or play games. I wanted to be here, in the moment, even if the moment sucked.

When the nurse called my name, I stood, straightened my jacket, and followed her down the hall. No Logan by my side. Just me. That was how I’d wanted it today. I had decisions to make, and this was my thing to face.

The room was the same as always. Pale walls, a desk piled with files, and Dr. Reilly sitting behind it, typing something into his computer. He looked up when I entered, offering a small smile that was more professional than warm.

“Brody,” he said, gesturing for me to sit. “How have you been?”

I settled into the chair, leaning back like I wasn’t carrying the weight of a bomb in my head. “I’ve been okay,” I said. “A few headaches. Some dizziness. But nothing major.”

Dr. Reilly’s expression didn’t change much, but I could see the subtle shift in his eyes, the way he leaned forward. “Tell me about the dizziness. When did it happen?”

I shrugged, trying to keep it casual. “It was a couple of days ago. I was on the ice, and… well, I’m not a skater. My boyfriend was spinning me around, and I got dizzy. That’s all.”

“How do you feel now?” he asked, his voice steady but probing.

“I’m good,” I replied. “No dizziness since then. The headaches come and go, but they’re not unbearable. I’m fine.”

He nodded slowly; his gaze thoughtful. “Dizziness and headaches can be expected given your condition, but it’s important to monitor them. They’re your body’s way of telling us if something is changing. How often are the headaches?”

I hesitated, then said, “Not every day. Maybe a couple of times a week. They’re not migraine-level bad.”

Dr. Reilly leaned back in his chair, tapping a pen against the desk. “I’d like to schedule a follow-up MRI to check up and ensure everything’s stable.”

“I’m already booked in for next month’s check.”

“We have room today.”

I nodded. “I’ll schedule it,” I said, my voice steady. “But not today.”

His eyes narrowed, but he didn’t push. “Okay. But don’t wait too long, Brody. Your health isn’t something to put off.”

“I know,” I said, standing. “I’ll do it soon.”

I felt a strange mix of relief and dread as I left the office. I’d done this alone. I’d faced the questions, the reality of my situation, without anyone holding my hand. And I was okay. For now, at least.
