Chapter 21: The Board
The board's office was on the sixth floor of a state building in downtown Phoenix.
I wore the scrubs again.
I'd washed them at midnight in my own machine, in my own house, with my mother asleep down the hall on store tea.
The investigator was a small woman with short gray hair and a binder two inches thick.
She shook my hand and didn't let go of it right away.
"I watched the forum," she said. "Twice."
"Then you know why I'm here."
"I know why you're here. I still have to ask you every question in this binder."
She asked me every question in the binder.
When did I last take a benzodiazepine on purpose? Never.
Had I ever had access to my mother's prescription? It was in my stepfather's golf bag, wrapped in a towel.
Did I know who filed the complaint? I slid Torin's two lines of numbers across the table.
Then she asked whether anyone could speak to what I'd just told her.
