I can’t believe myself.

I’m deranged, that's all there is to it. I put my hands on my client. A weak, wounded client at best. A client who I’m supposed to draft a report about and submit to a county judge.

Fuck.

My brain is a scrambled a mess. I can’t think or find any way of fixing this. I always know how to fix things, no matter how bad, or at least keep them from breaking in the first place. Got that from my father, the king of perfection himself.

But not this time, I have zero idea what to do. Or what I’ve done. My body just kind of…

Took over.

Poor excuse, I know. But it’s true. The moment I put my fingers on him during the tapping exercise, something got triggered inside of me. Some deep, explosive yearning that was too powerful to control.

I can't seem to hear my thoughts right now as another batch of rain pounds down on my office building. Not that I want to hear my thoughts considering how useless and untrustworthy they are to me.

I notice Ethan’s brown leather bag resting beside the couch where he was sitting.

No, I tell myself as the thought of going through his personal stuff enters my mind.

I turn away from his bag and rush to my computer, thankful that the power is working in my office. I start searching the hell out of whether or not I can lose my license for what I just did. A ton of stuff comes up, making it obvious within seconds of searching.

I’d have to either lie and make Ethan look crazy for even accusing me of crossing the line with him, or I’d have to own up to my behavior, which would be a fucking nightmare. Especially because of my father’s notoriety as a talk show celebrity therapist himself.

Come on brain, I need you now more than ever. Think dammit, think.

I pace back and forth in my office several times, trying to put the thought of what his shoulders felt like in my hands out of my mind forever. But it’s not working.

Whatever tiny amount of inner resolve I have left in me dissipates in a puff of insanity as I walk over to the couch, pick up Ethan’s bag, and unzip the main pocket.

Great, now they’ll get you for an invasion of privacy while they’re at it.

It’s as though I’m suddenly possessed. All because of one man. One likely straight man who happens to be my client.

Ethan’s bag is filled with ten or so folders and a beat up silver laptop. I grab the red folder that’s resting on top and open it. There's a thick, stapled document inside, with the words Silver Coast at the top of the first page. Most of it's typed, with handwritten edits and random notes scribbled throughout the pages.

I start reading the story and legitimately can’t believe how good it starts off. My attention is caught from the very first paragraph, so much so that for a moment I forget that I’m breaking the law right now by invading his personal property like this.
