Alecta felt like she was floating walking down the street toward the park. She wasn’t worried that someone was watching over shoulder, nor was she worried there was a reason to regret her decision. It was why she chose the park as she sat down on one of the benches and called up William. She asked if he was busy and if he could meet her before she tucked her phone back into her bag that she set in front of the bench. The warmth of the sun against her otherwise cold skin felt new. Heck everything felt new, and she planned on enjoying it. She waited for Will as she enjoyed the rare peeks of sun, an unmoved smile on her face.

Had the week been any crazier than usual? Maybe a little, but the chaos seemed to be her new normal so what more was there than that? She barely batted an eye at Bellamy who was telling her to wait. Instead she went into Will’s office on her own accord, lingering by the door with a defeated sort of look on her face. “I thought about the homework,” she quipped. “I couldn’t think of anything, and then I went on this trip this weekend with Seth to Ireland. It was the most free I’ve felt in a long time.” She almost felt guilty if she were honest with herself. Like she expected Malachi to somehow overhear her words in the little office. “When I went to see Malach after....something’s not right. I’m ready to listen.”

It had been a given that follow up therapy sessions were needed after her stint with the rehabilitation facility. It didn’t mean she wasn’t still a bit apprehensive about a new face. She had spent months confiding in the same familiar face, but she was hopeful she could come to fully trust the man in front of her. “Afternoon, Mr. Adler,” she greeted. “I’m Alecta and apparently really awkward. I’m not sure how this starts.”

Alecta: Thought you should know you did good at your job even if I made it hard. I get what the truth is now.
