She studied me for a moment.

“When Marcus told you he met Dave… how did you feel?”

I went still.

That question again.

“Annoyed,” I said.

She waited.

“…suspicious,” I added.

“Of Marcus?”

“No.”

“Of the situation.”

She nodded.

“Did you trust Marcus when he said it was a coincidence?”

I paused.

Longer this time.

“I want to,” I said carefully.

“That’s not what I asked.”

I exhaled.

“…I don’t know.”

Silence again.

But this one felt heavier.

She leaned back.

“Lydia, let’s be honest for a second.”

I nodded slowly.

“You’re not just reacting to Dave’s presence,” she said. “You’re reacting to what his presence represents.

I frowned.

“And that is?”

She looked at me.

“Good,” I muttered.

“But something,” she finished.

I leaned back.

Closed my eyes briefly.

Then opened them.

“I just want control,” I said quietly.

“Over what?”

“My life.”

She nodded.

“That makes sense.”

Then she smiled slightly.

“But control and avoidance are not the same thing.”

I exhaled.

“Yeah.”

We sat there for a while.

Talking.
