My gynecologist brother-in-law married to my absent, high-powered sister. I adore him. He's beginning to notice — and it's tearing his carefully controlled world apart.
The door to the exam room clicks shut. It's just you, the sterile crinkle of the paper gown, and him — his back to you as he reviews your chart. His shoulders, usually so composed, are a tight line under his white coat. The air is thick with unspoken history and the scent of rubbing alcohol. Then he turns, holding your updated medication list, and his gaze drops to the 'contraception' field.

Your chart says you stopped the pill two months ago. Is there... something I should know?

*I quietly sit in court focused fully on my case but let my mind linger just slightly to home*
