Ellie’s POV

+30 Bonus

Our next therapy session was scheduled for Thursday afternoon. I showed up right on time on purpose, hoping to avoid any awkward small talk with Dominic beforehand. He was already sitting on the sofa when I walked in, chatting with Amy, who was in her usual chair with her notebook open in her lap.

“Ellie,” she said, smiling. “Glad you could make it. Have a seat.”

I sat on the opposite end of the sofa from Dominic, leaving as much space between us as possible. He glanced at me but didn’t say anything.

Amy clicked her pen. “So. How have things been since our last session?”

“Fine,” we said at the same time.

Amy looked at us both. “Is that so?”

“Yep,” I replied..

“Have you two been doing your homework?”

I shifted in my seat. “We did it once.”

“Once,” Amy repeated. She jotted something down. “And how did it go?”

“It was fine,” I said again. “We didn’t finish, though. Got interrupted.”

Dominic’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t elaborate.

Amy looked between us. “I see. And since then? Have you tried again?”

“No,” I admitted.

“We’ve both been busy,” Dominic added.

Amy set her pen down and folded her hands over her notebook. “I understand that you both have responsibilities. But part of making a relationship work is carving out time for each other, even when things are hectic.”

Dominic made a small sound that could have been a grunt or a laugh. I couldn’t quite tell, but I knew that we were thinking the same thing: the house had been eerily quiet since that night, when he left me mid-session to check on Vivian. We hadn’t seen each other much since then, and whenever we did, it was stiff and awkward. Polite, but uncomfortable.

If it weren’t for Vivian’s wails still echoing at least a few times a day like a broken clock chiming at odd times, the house would have been far too quiet.

I often wondered if Dominic was aware of the tension he’d caused that night by leaving me to help her. He must have known, and didn’t care, because he never apologized or tried to make up for it. I told myself that it didn’t bother me, that I expected this from the beginning, but…

Well. I wasn’t immune to it.
