Dangerous Liaison

... average.

Grinning, I leaned forward and gave David a quick kiss. "I don't think there's a human being on this planet who doesn't judge to some extent, in some circumstances, on skin colour."

David was staring at me like he was trying to X-ray me, and I laughed. "Don't look so worried. It's fine."

He shook his head slightly. "I'm never going to assume again. I'm going to ask all patient's their background regardless. There are some instances it could have an impact on diagnosis."

"Lesson learned," I teased him, then laughed when he reached over and dug his fingers into my hair.

"The texture's weird," he mumbled.

"Oh thanks!"

"I mean, different to mine."

"So therefore weird?"

"No, it's just," he broke off when he saw me laughing at him. "Oh, fuck off!"

It just made me laugh harder, but then I calmed. "Where was I?"

"Rome."

"Oh yea. Mr Vega-Perez is one of those people who you just tell all your secrets to. And he's really wise. That's why Frankie knows."

"Frankie's wise as well," David said. "Robbie spends more time with him than me, and he said people make assumptions because he's so bubbly, but we know he's got a good head on his shoulders."

Drew stayed the night and the next day a hospital lawyer and Drew got ...

A series of letters regarding the fact that my dad had been forced to do a blood test before they would let him be named as my father, because I was so light-skinned, and that was instigated by an anonymous letter sent to the registry department."

I took a drink and cleared my throat. "No surprise I recognized my Grandma's writing."

"Oh, for Christ's sake!"

"And a copy of the report of the crash. They walked in and it was me, Drew and his parents, Dr Harris and the lawyer."

"Bet they weren't happy," David suggested.

"Immediate reaction. We did nothing wrong, and they're gonna sue Dr Harris. The lawyer was like, 'Bring it on, he's an adult.'" I shrugged. "They have never apologized or admitted being in the wrong. Because in their eyes, raising me white was the right thing to do."

David reached out and took my hand, smiling slightly as he considered the difference in our skin tones. "Wow! And how do you feel about it now?"

I considered, "I'm lucky it was Dr Harris who found out and told me, because she was super cool and handled it really well. Really like it was no big deal. Being mixed-ethnicity and light-skinned. She said loads of her family were quite light-skinned. And she made it clear that the lies, that was the really big deal, she was like my champion."

"Mixed-ethnicity? Is that your preferred term?"

I laughed, "Wow, well that's a can of worms! ...
