I eyed them and lifted my eyes, frowning up at her. “You just had those here.”
“I had them filled at the pharmacy in the building. You know I can do that, right?”
I nodded, snatching up the bottles one by one, scanning the labels. They matched what I had been taking the past few years. What I knew worked. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. That’s only two weeks.”
She was forcing my hand to make sure I didn’t miss my next appointment.
“Okay.” I stood, preparing to leave but she arched a brow in silent challenge causing me to sit down again.
“What?”
“Don’t you think we should talk about everything that’s been going on with you recently?”
“There’s nothing to talk about. Once I get back to these, I’ll be fine.”
I motioned to the pills and she nodded.
“How about you tell me how you’re settling into things with Cress…”
The mention of her name set off alarms in my head. I ran through my conversations with her trying to single out one time that I’d actually given her that information. I hadn’t.
“Cress?”
“Your wife,” she returned, her expression neutral.
“I never told you her name.”
She slowly lifted a brow. “If you didn’t tell me her name, then how would I know that, Elias?”
My fingers flexed, curling into my palm, then expanding again. My mind was raging once more.
“Yeah, maybe I don’t remember.”
Fuck…
Did I tell her or didn’t I?
She shifted, crossing one leg over the other. “Have you been forgetting things lately?”
“No.”
The answer came quickly but lacked confidence with it.
Another fucking thing that had me anxious. Forgetting things was simple to most people. A slip of the mind, but not for me. If I was forgetting, then I needed to refocus.
“If you are…”
“I’m not.”
“But you didn’t remember that you told me your wife’s name.”
“Because you keep asking me shit that doesn’t have anything to do with why I’m here.” I lifted the pills. “This is why I’m here. I’m not here about my wife.”
She nodded slowly. “You seem frustrated, Elias. You were frustrated when you called me a few days ago. It seems to be getting worse, not better. I’m not doing my job if I don’t consider the obvious.”
Cress…
