Eva was coming back from lunch when she found Camille on her couch crying. Rushing in and sitting down, Eva whispered, “Camille sweetie I didn’t know we had a session-.” Shaking her head, Camille whispered, “We didn’t, I’m sorry. I just got overwhelmed and I didn’t have anyone else to talk to.” Maxine hadn’t answered her phone and she was lost as her heart nearly exploded from her chest.
And she couldn’t call Elijah. While she was sure he’d have understood and been there for her? Stress, insecurity, and trauma made her sink into the hole of thinking he wouldn’t care about the situation. Not to mention the fear of facing judgement of any kind.
Having joined her on the couch, not as a therapist but as a friend, Eva was gentle.
“Are you okay? Did something happen?”
That was the thing.
