No Is One Of My Medications
You have been saying no a lot lately. Why?
“What the hell is going on?” Hilda demands from Grace after barging into her office. “I already told Claude and the rest of the crew that you would be there!”
Nodding in anger, Grace eased back into her comfortable padded armchair and shared, “Sorry, but doctor’s orders.”
“You are sick?” she called out quickly as Tessa and Paul entered.
“Not sick enough to can’t help us I hope!” Paul said.
“Yeah!” Tessa cried out. “That’s all she had been saying lately to almost everyone!”
“She must be dying!” Diana and Lloyd said as they entered.
“Who is dying?” Michael and Sheena said as they strolled in.
“Sit down, family and friends,” Grace suggested.
They all sat down, some in chairs and others on a two-seater sofa. She smiled, then said, “I am dying, alright, and my doctor gave me a new set of prescriptions that will save my life.”
“I told you she was dying!” Diana said, easing closer.
“What are you dying from?” Sheena asked.
“Saying yes to the wrong people all of the time,” Grace said, staring at them in revelation.
