章 101: Chapter 101: Diarrhea of the Mouth

DR. FRANKLER SMOOTHED OUT her expression before addressing me. "Tru, I'd be happy to talk to you about anything you need. That is my job, after all."

I swallowed hard. "Okay."

"But," she said. "Can we discuss Dante first?"

When I nodded, she continued. "How did you meet him?"

"At lunch. He was hanging out with Bobby. I really didn't ... I mean, I don't know Dante at all. He was Bobby's friend."

I felt more relaxed all of the sudden, that feeling of connecting with the doctor enveloping me again. Before I could become suspicious, words streamed from my mouth like a plane on autopilot.

"He was weird to me. I even thought he called me a dummy once. I mean who says that? But he actually said idimmu--" I slapped a hand on my mouth. What was I saying? I tried to laugh it off. "Um, which is strange, right?"

Dr. Frankler stiffened, but she simply nodded for me to continue.
