Chapter 1

Caroline closes her eyes. She takes the deep breathes just as Dr. Collins instructed. She had started seeing the psychologist shortly after Jarvis' death. Cynthia had been the one to finally talk her into doing so. At first, Caroline hated the idea of having to see a therapist, but after a couple of months even she couldn't deny the difference it was making. Dr. Collins was worth every penny and never made her feel rushed in to having some breakthrough she wasn't ready for. When Caroline came in earlier than her scheduled time, Dr. Collins saw her without questions. The gesture was part of her job, but one couldn't tell. She treated Caroline like a dear friend who was always welcome and still maintained the necessary level of professionalism. Caroline trusted her implicitly.

Envision yourself sitting peacefully in your safe space. Focus on the tranquility you feel and just breath. In through her nose and out through her mouth. Repeat.

Dr. Collins soothing voice gently instructed Caroline on how to find her inner peace. Caroline could feel her anxiety dissipating. Her thoughts slowed until she could decipher each one on its own merit. For the last couple of days, she'd had a hard time collecting herself.

Namely, Caroline wasn't sure how to face her attraction to Ethan.

She hadn't been seriously attracted to anyone since Jarvis' death. Sure, she'd gone out on a few dates once the dust settled, but it wasn't because she was actually seeking a new partner. The dates had mostly been blind dates, and setups that her mother and friends would send her on. Everyone was trying to make her feel better about her husband's early departure. Instead, it only made her feel worse. None of the men had sparked even the slightest amount of interest or chemistry within her. Suddenly, Ethan Gregory had done both.

The soft breeze of her breath pushing past her lips helped her to clear her head. Since she'd taken the interview with Ethan Gregory, her mind had been in a state of chaos. All of her thoughts rushed at her at once. She'd start her first day in less than a week and she had to get them under control if she was going to make it there.

I want you to tell me about the interview. What was it like venturing out into the work force? Start when you are ready.

It was... okay. Nerve wrecking at first. I wasn't sure that I could really get out there, but when it came time for the interview it felt...right. I walked into his office and I was okay.

Was there something in particular that made you feel okay?

"I don't know. Maybe. His office was really lavish. It looked like something out of one of those home decor magazines, and he was nice. He was kind of nice. I could tell that he is
