It took me a moment to realise what she had just said, or
rather asked me, from her position with one knee on the floor.
“You… Wait, what?”
She stared blankly at me.
“It’s a simple enough question.”
I raised my hands.
“I know, I know, I just wasn’t expecting it, is all.”
“Well can I have an answer? I’m starting to lose feeling in
my knee.”
I stalled for a moment by reaching down and picking up her
leg, winding the wires back into it.
“Look, I just can’t afford that kind of repair job for you
right now…”
