Then he smiled softly and said, “Nice try. But stop avoiding the question. Tell me the truth. If the damage to you is severe, I’ll end the treatment.”

He paused, then added, “You can also choose not to answer. In that case, I’ll stop everything immediately.”

“You’re insane,” I snapped. “Relax. It’s nothing serious–it just makes me a little more tired than usual.”
