Grady Clinic, last week
Me: “That wasn’t my intention. I’m sorry I—”
You: *holding up hand* “Nah I’m good. I don’t want your apology.”
Ooph.
I parted my lips to say more but you spoke again before I could.
You: “Please just leave. Now.”
And you meant it.

The student working with me shifted nervously. I felt thankful for the melanin that masked red heat rushing to my face.
You: “Don’t worry. I ain’t gon’ take this out on you.”
You looked at her & then back to me.
You: “It’s OK. I’ll still see her. Now please leave.”
Whew.

You added something about how I made it harder for my student but since it wasn’t her fault you wouldn’t hold my shortcomings against her learning.
I apologized once more but you were done talking to me. And hearing me talk period.
I gave the student a nod and slipped out.
