EXCERPT

I sit on the floor next to her for a moment. I distract her by telling her about one of the worst falls I had in my youth. A nasty bump with a laceration on my ribs. The anecdote, that I fainted three times at the mention of a needle to sew my arms back together, seems to amuse her greatly.
After a moment, her nose wrinkles and she finally manages to articulate a sentence:
"It stinks… we stink," she explains.
I sniff and realize the ambient odor surrounding us.
"You're not going to take your t-shirt off, are you?" she teases me. I might misinterpret that kind of coincidence," she adds with a half-smile.
I smile at her, pretending to take it off. She covers her face with her hand like a child. Her gesture makes me laugh, the effects of which I haven't felt in a long time.
"I promise, I'll stop undressing. But we're still going to have to do something about the smell," I laugh.
She nods, agreeing. With one hand, she grabs the sofa post to stand up. I support her back, ready to steady her at the slightest sign of weakness.
"I'm fine," she assures me.
I pretend to move away, still keeping an eye on her. She appreciates my show of confidence and pushes herself up into a sitting position. Still pale-faced, she waits a moment before straightening completely and standing. Her eyes shining, she observes me without animosity. Almost curious to see me still here.
