Chapter 81

“Did you figure it out, Adam?”

He’s quiet and standing at the bank of computers in a different room in the medical facility. Everything is wh ite and glass and the space resembles something out of a pharmaceutical commercial.

I’m perched on a stool, watching him.

“The results regarding your ca ncer aren’t available yet. But I do think we’ll see a positive effect from the ceremony.”

“Is that your Doctor of Medicine degree talking, or just my friend being optimistic for me?”

His smile is crooked, and I see that it doesn’t reach his eyes. So

he wants to believe. But he isn’t sure either.

“We can bring you back into my hospital in town and run

additional scans.”

“Not yet,” I say absently. I spin a test tube on the lab table like it’s some kind of fidget toy. “And, Adam, when I asked if you ‘figured it out yet’ I wasn’t talking about the ca ncer.”

His light eyes slowly raise to mine.

I hold his gaze. “You know what I mean.”

He looks away.
