I felt like I was on cloud nine. After the night I had shared with Jethro, I almost felt like I was invincible. But I hadn’t realized how tense I was until the elevator doors opened and the scent of lavender hit me. Soft and subtle. It was almost too gentle for a place where people carried so much pain. The waiting room was warm. Cozy, even. It had potted plants and soft jazz played in the background. There was a small table with tea and bottled water. I stared at it all like I had stepped into a completely foreign world. Somewhere designed to trick you into believing the monsters in your mind weren’t real.
“Miss Samuel?” a soft voice called. I turned my head, and Dr. Elise Rennick stood in the hallway just beyond the reception desk. She wore a pale beige suit and a calm smile.
