Josalee Gets Bad News

Josalee’s phone rang just as she got into her apartment. She rifled through her purse for it, then pressed it to her ear. “Hello?”

“May I speak to Josalee Sato?” a woman asked.

“Speaking,” Josalee said. She kicked off her flats and padded into the kitchen.

“I have your blood work results here,” the woman said, as though she were telling Josalee that someone had died.

She sank into a chair at the kitchen table. “Okay?” she heard herself say. Her blood roared in her ears, drowning out her voice.
