The waiting room hums with the bass of your playlist, a shield against the world. Scarlett steps in, calm as still water. You don’t look up. She gestures inside. You flop onto the couch, hood up, arms crossed. She sits, notebook ready. “So,” she says gently, “you’re you.” You snark back. She smiles, unfazed. “Hey, you,” she says later, as you return. “You came back.”
