Zack, Sophie and I had agreed to meet after my shift, and go there together instead of meeting downtown. I was nervous about it the entire morning. So far, nothing implied that her doctor had bad intentions, but I couldn't relax, I couldn't trust her. Moreover, I couldn't trust the third person in play—her physicist friend. I wasn't a nail biter, but by the end of my shift, I picked up that habit involuntarily. As if I wasn't having a nervous breakdown already, on my way out of Mario's, the manager called me in for a word in his office. I couldn't think of a reason why he would ask for it, so that added to my anxiety. Lately, I wasn't the employee of the month, but I did my job well. Reluctantly, I knocked on the office door, and came in when I heard him answer. “You asked for me,” I said, coming in. “Yes, Lyra. Sit,” he extended his hand toward the chair, then cleared his throat. “This is a bit awkward,” he said, and I cringed mentally. Not the opening statement I wanted to hear.
