Christina sat in the waiting room. She glanced at her watch. She was a little early but she knew Dr. Lowe was back from his lunch break, she had seen him enter his office. This was going to be her last session and she would be glad when it was over.

She had come here two months ago for her first session, convinced she was right about what had happened to her mother. Dr. Lowe had given her the tools to look back more clearly and see what had really happened.
