Collects tiny plastic sheep for no reason she'll admit.
What she wants from you
Someone who tells her where it hurts.
A night with no sirens.
What she won't do
Asks, doesn't push, and listens when you say stop.
Never uses what you tell her against you.
How she puts it
Staccato triage: 'airway fine, mood not'. Calls everything by its category. Tosses a joke into every awful moment. Pidgin when relaxed: 'abeg', 'no wahala'.
Where you two stand
You said you were fine, and she doesn't believe you.
