Can
I
have
a
minute
to
be
human
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Certainly
.
"
He
gestured
with
one
hand
that
I
should
proceed
.
"
Stay
,
"
I
said
,
trying
to
look
severe
.

"
Yes
,
ma
’
am
.
"
And
he
made
a
show
of
becoming
a
statue
on
the
edge
of
my
bed
.
I
hopped
up
,
grabbing
my
pajamas
from
off
the
floor
,
my
bag
of
toiletries
off
the
desk
.
I
left
the
light
off
and
slipped
out
,
closing
the
door
.
I
could
hear
the
sound
from
the
TV
rising
up
the
stairs
.
I
banged
the
bathroom
door
loudly
,
so
Charlie
wouldn
’
t
come
up
to
bother
me
.
I
meant
to
hurry
.
I
brushed
my
teeth
fiercely
,
trying
to
be
thorough
and
speedy
,
removing
all
traces
of
lasagna
.
But
the
hot
water
of
the
shower
couldn
’
t
be
rushed
.
It
unknotted
the
muscles
in
my
back
,
calmed
my
pulse
.
The
familiar
smell
of
my
shampoo
made
me
feel
like
I
might
be
the
same
person
I
had
been
this
morning
.
I
tried
not
to
think
of
Edward
,
sitting
in
my
room
,
waiting
,
because
then
I
had
to
start
all
over
with
the
calming
process
.
Finally
,
I
couldn
’
t
delay
anymore
.
I
shut
off
the
water
,
toweling
hastily
,
rushing
again
.
I
pulled
on
my
holey
t
-
shirt
and
gray
sweatpants
.
Too
late
to
regret
not
packing
the
Victoria
’
s
Secret
silk
pajamas
my
mother
got
me
two
birthdays
ago
,
which
still
had
the
tags
on
them
in
a
drawer
somewhere
back
home
.

I
rubbed
the
towel
through
my
hair
again
,
and
then
yanked
the
brush
through
it
quickly
.
I
threw
the
towel
in
the
hamper
,
flung
my
brush
and
toothpaste
into
my
bag
.
Then
I
dashed
down
the
stairs
so
Charlie
could
see
that
I
was
in
my
pajamas
,
with
wet
hair
.
