Kelly didn't return to her apartment.

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?"

"It's been sorted," Kelly said, her voice steady, though her eyes betrayed the storm she tried to hide.

Samuel raised an eyebrow, his smile fading slightly. "Zev didn't come with you? He left you to handle this alone?"

Kelly paused, her fingers tightening around the edges of the cup. "Zev ... he's gone. Disappeared."

Samuel's smile faltered for just a second before returning. "Don't worry. That boy's tougher than anyone gives him credit for. He's always running off. The longest he's been gone was five years. He always comes back."

Kelly blinked, allowing the words to sink in.

Her voice trembled, but she forced herself to speak.

She told Samuel she could talk again. On the day she left the hospital.

Samuel leaned forward, his eyes soft. "You're not broken, Kelly. You're still whole. Your body, your mind- they're intact. What you need now is strength. You've been through something hard, but you're still standing."

"Once you get in your head that no one will be there for you forever, you'll learn how to guard yourself."

Kelly clenched her hands tightly together, then slowly relaxed them. "I don't know how to move on. Everything I believed in everything I thought I knew about myself, it's all shattered."
