I got up, walked up to the dude holding the Bible, then said the words he was waiting to hear. “I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”
“You may take the stand.”
I walked up, took my seat, then made eye contact with my onetime best friend.
She looked angry and scared.
I told my story.
And when I was done, there wasn’t a single person in the room that was now siding with Lisbeth or Farrell. Not even the impartial judge.
CHAPTER 25
Say it, don’t spray it.

I had no clue where we were going.
For once, I didn’t have an appointment, but we were at the hospital.
If I never saw the inside of a hospital again, it would be too soon.
Yet here we were, on my day off, walking into the hospital.
I was slow, but I was still doing it on my own steam, so there was that.
“Why are we here?” I asked for the third time.
She pinched me, then pointed. “We’re going up there. It’s for me, remember?”
I assumed it was for her medication that she had to have administered once a month, so I chose to stay quiet and go along with her for the ride.
When we rode up the escalator to the second floor, she power walked to the front desk and said a few words to the chick behind the counter.
I caught up to her and heard the chick saying, “A nurse will call you back shortly. Please have a seat.”
I took a seat next to her, and she fiddled with her dress nervously.
“Why are you so nervous?” I asked her.
She licked her lips, but before she could answer, her name was called.
I got up and walked with her, much slower now than I used to be, but they waited patiently for me to catch up.
“How are you feeling today?” the nurse asked. “You’re eighteen weeks, right?”
“Eighteen weeks, four days,” Folsom confirmed, shooting me a look.
I had no clue what they were talking about.
“Eighteen weeks?” I asked.
“Right when all the good stuff can be seen,” the nurse replied to my words.
Folsom started to laugh under her breath, causing me to frown.
