Mort nervously paced the waiting room. Alex was sitting on a leather couch, an
unopened magazine in her hands. She had
tried to assure him time and time again that Dr. Harris was known for his work,
but this only caused Mort’s nerves to become even more frazzled.
“What if he wants to lock me up?” Mort said, fly
ly
sitting down.
Alex gave him a pitying look. “I really don’t think that’s going to be an
option to consider.” She took his hand
in hers and, just as Mort had done on their first date, she traced her finger
along his palm – it seemed to calm him.
“Look at you, you’re a ball of nerves.
You need to at least try to rela/p>

“Do I have to be on my back, staring at the ceiling
saying things like, ‘Well, my childhood wasn’t a happy one, but…’”
“You’ll tell me what you feel comfortable telling
me, Mr. Rainey.” Mortked ked up. Dr. Harris was standing in the doorway, a
pleasant smile on his face. He walked
over to the couple and extended his hand.
“I’m Dr. Andrew Harris – and I can promise you that I’ll be very easy on
you today.”
Mort shook his hand, saying, “I’ve never done this.”
“You’ll be fine,” Dr. Harris said confidently. “And when you leave, you have a lovely young
lady to escort you out of here.” Dr.
Harris turned his eyes to Alex and she smiled.
“How are you Alex?”
She took shook his hand. “I’m fine, Dr. Harris – just a little worried about him.” Mort blushed despite his nerves; he reveled
in the fact that Alex cared about him so much.
“I’ll take good care of him.”
“Thank you.”
“Are you ready, Mr. Rainey?”
“Mort, please,” Mort said softly. “Yeah, I guess.” He looked at Alex, his eyes unsure. When he stood up, she stood with him, pulling him into her arms.
“You’re going to be fine,” she whispered in his
ear. She kissed his cheek, then quickly
caught his lips with her own. She felt
his body relax slightly and she gave him a final, gentle squeeze. “I’ll be here waiting for you.” Sht hit him go and he followed Dr. Harris to
his office. Alex closed her eyes, a
tear falling down her cheek. He’ll
be fine…he has to be.
