Brandi flicked the syringe lightly with her finger, watching the tiny air bubbles rise to the top.

Brandi reached for my arm. “No.”

The cold touch of alcohol swiped across my skin, then the needle slid into my arm.

Brandi pushed the plunger down extremely slowly, taking her time to watch me cry as she emptied the syringe.

“And just in case this kills your baby,” she said, her voice low. “It would be a plus for my business.”

The words echoed in my head.
