"No." I said.

All she did was nod her head. The tears no dancing down her cheeks.

The only plant in the room was the item I choose to keep my eyes on. I wouldn't let them travel. Not risking meeting someone's eyes. Unsure who long I was staring at the plant, not taking my eyes off of it.

My name entered my thoughts. I turned everyone was looking at me and everything was different.
