I looked out at the city, not paying a word to what Mr Wang said. “Are you okay Clara?”, he asked. I could see the concern on his face and it made me irritated. I closed my eyes and looked at the ceiling before taking a deep breath. “Let's end here for today”, I said. Mr Wang left but David hesitated to get up from his chair. I didn't have to open my eyes to know he was still there because only one set of footsteps left the room. “Clara…”, “Not now David, don't start with that bullshit pity stuff”, I said and looked at him. “If there is anyone that knows what you're going through it's me”, he said before getting up and leaving. I saw the many missed calls from Athena that I purposely ignored. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones but I didn't want anyone offering me their pity
