I STARED AT the ceiling, covered in paint and sweat, fighting to catch my breath. My mind reeled at the sudden unexpected appearance of Molly, who’d attacked me with all the force of a tidal wave and given me something to be extra thankful for.

I’d expected the holiday to be much more ‘low key’. My visit with the family went better than I expected. I had a great time with the kids and even Robbie was less irritating than usual. I’d happily exhausted the girls by the time I left, and Tamz gave me a hug and whispered ‘thanks’. When I got home, I had tons of nervous energy so I decided to paint the place.

Part of the process Dr. Greene and I had discussed was putting things in order. The chaos in my life was a symptom of my condition. So I needed to get my house in order in both the figurative and literal sense. Once the doc sniffed out the Molly situation, he put me in my place pretty quickly. The man has a way of calling me on my bullshit that borders on mystical. And really fucking annoying. “So Molly is Mac and Mason’s little sister?”

“Yeah.” I was immediately uncomfortable with his judging expression.

”So you haven’t seen this Molly in a long time?”

“Yeah. Not since she was a kid.”

“Interesting.” He was scribbling furiously in his notebook by this time. “So do you think it’s a coincidence?”

“Do I think what is a coincidence?” He gave me that long suffering patient look of his. God I hate his face sometimes.

“I just find it interesting that this woman shows up from your past and suddenly you show remarkable progress. A desire to work towards getting better, a sudden resurgence of your artistic muse in relation to your woodcarving…” The smug expression he was trying to hide was getting under my skin.

“So what? She just reminds me of…” I was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Of what Joe?” I glanced at the clock suddenly wishing that our time was up. This conversation was making me uncomfortable.

“I don’t know.” He gave me a withering look.

“Oh come on. You’re smarter than that. She is obviously someone that can get to you on a level that even your sister can’t. So dig a little deeper here. Clear your thoughts. Then think of Molly and tell me the first thing that comes to mind.” Resisting the urge to tell him exactly what he could do with his bullshit Zen idea, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Clearing my mind, I focused on Molly.

“Gorgeous, challenging, funny, dangerous…” The words came out without me having a chance to think about them. I opened my eyes to see the doc staring at me in surprise. He cleared his expression quickly and made some notes in his book.

“Interesting. Why dangerous Joe? Is she a kick boxer?” That earned him a laugh which seemed to shock him more than anything I had done so far during the session, including punching his wall.
