The people who don't know me have been staring at my bruised arm all day. They come up to the reference desk and their eyes slide sideways, and they fix their stare at the black and blue mark on my arm. I can just see the questions going through their heads "What the heck happened to her? Abusive boyfriend? Car accident? Something terrible for sure..."

The people who know me simply say "Fell off your bike again?"
