“The door did hit me on the way out, Henley, and it knocked some sense into me.”
My eyes search hers.
“You’re not welcome here anymore. Stay the hell away from me.”
I step back and nod. “Fine.” I’m shocked but not surprised.
Juliet closes the door in my face, and I hear Rebecca start to cry from inside. I wait for a moment, unsure what to do. Unsure where to go.
You’re not welcome here anymore.
I close my eyes in disgust at myself. What did you expect?
Eventually I drag myself home, and I sit on my front steps in the darkness.
And to the sounds of Rebecca’s heart breaking in the distance, mine does too.
“Henley.” Aaron smiles. “Come in. Please take a seat.”
I walk past him and sit down. “I don’t know why I’m here. This is a waste of fucking time.”
He smiles and sits behind the desk opposite me. “How have you been?”
“Okay.”
“Anything new happen since I saw you last?”
“Nope.” I roll my lips and look around. I just want this over with.
“Henley.” He pauses. “I know you are only here because Dr. Grayson is making you come.”
“I told you before, he’s dramatized the entire thing. I’m fine. I don’t need to be here. You are wasting your time. Spend it on someone who really needs it.”
“Okay.” He nods casually. “That’s good to hear that you are doing well.” He scribbles down some notes while I wait.
“So . . . let’s pick up where we left off, shall we?”
I shrug.
“Have you thought any further about Juliet since we spoke last?”
“She’s all I fucking think about.”
“That’s good.” He sits back with a smile. “You care about her.”
I roll my lips, choosing to stay silent.
“Are you and her getting along well?”
“No.”
“Did something happen?”
You’re not welcome here anymore.
“Ahh . . .” I shrug. “She told me that she never wants to see me again.”
“What caused her to say that?”
