Down the hall she smiles as she
unlocks the bathroom door for a girl who
left her keys inside.
She walks with confidence towards me,
around my legs on the floor.
"No problem" She smiles after my apology.
She unlocks her door and
goes inside.
I hear her set down her bag.
Expletive.
She shouts.
I hear her muffled cries.
She sobs
and sniffs
another expletive
She makes a call.
The door across the hall
opens
and I walk away.

What happened while I was waiting for Michelle?
What happened while this girl was smiling?
Smiling for the world and letting it all fall on her capable, perfect shoulders.
Was there an alternative?
