When Ava glanced at the time and only five minutes had passed since she’d last looked, she gave up trying to concentrate. She was nervous. There, she’d admitted it. But once she acknowledged it, the nerves didn’t go away.

Don’t worry, she wanted to assure her inner voice. She’d made a list of do’s and don’ts, and had no intention of trying to bypass any of them.
But what do I say?

What if ….
Stop!
Another check
