fourteen

"Yesterday, I slept for thirteen hours straight." Ivy states proudly. 

"What?" Yungjae questions in disbelief. Last week when she was here, he was certain it would take up atleast a dozen sessions to get things out of her. The real things. 

"Yeah, I slept for thirteen hours, like a baby. He came back." 

"I'm glad he did." He acknowledges smiling comfortingly at her. She smiles back brightly and he questions whether it was actually the Ivy he had given therapy for the past two weeks. 

"Now, let's continue where we left, shall we?"

"Yeah sure but I think this would be my last session."

"I know what you're thinking, he came back and now you're happy so you don't neem my help." 

"Kinda?" 

"Let me tell you one thing Ivy, healing is not one person. You need to let everything you've been anchoring inside you go, completely." 

"I'm not anchoring anything inside, it was the hurt because he wasn't there." 

"So if he leaves again, you're gonna go back to square one?"
