Instead, she walked slowly to the building where Zev had arranged for her to meet with his therapist.

The door opened to a quiet, tastefully furnished office. Samuel Kingsley, the therapist, greeted her with a warm smile. His calm presence immediately put her at case. He poured her a cup of coffee and gestured toward a chair. "I've heard things have been tough. Are you feeling better?"
