Gino and I stopped our crying and looked around the room in wonder. This was something that had always been off limits to me as an adult. I had often wondered how women’s restrooms were accoutered.

Not like the smell of the nurses I had been near during Gino’s illness. This wasn’t a hospital smell, reeking of science and professional femininity, but different odor entirely.
