Chapter 34

"How are

are you, Julian?" My therapist. Cara, asked me.

1 had been going to therapy for three years. I was trying to cope with Emily's absence, but it was getting harder. I went to five different therapists I

"I would be lying if I said that I'm okay, but I've been working with my nephew on his science project, so I guess this is good. It's taking my mind off of Emily" Had I gone insane? Probably.

any woman would be cruel of me. I would end up comparing any woman I meet to Emily and nobody can amount to how amazing she was. I could not be that cruel to other women.
