The dilemma

They call her name and she stands, hands you her coffee, and shakes out her shoulders. "Ten minutes and I am out," she says, grinning at you, and there it is, green, right across her front tooth. The meeting room is all glass. Three of them are already round the table, watching her come, and her hand is on the door.

Your options

1. Say it straight: spinach, front tooth, right now.
2. Let her walk in. Telling her now will only shake her.
3. You open your mouth and nothing comes out. The door swings shut.
