Chapter 16
Bex slept all afternoon, most of the night, and half of Sunday. She was drained as if she were recovering from an illness. She woke up in a cold sweat sometimes, but surprisingly not as dramatically as sheâd grown accustomed to. She might gasp, but she quickly realized where she was and didnât succumb to a full panic.
Bracken was amazing. He treated her like spun gold. She wasnât sure how she could have done any of this without him. If she hadnât met him, she probably would have spent the past five weeks curled up in a ball in her condo slowly withering away.
Bracken also didnât ask her to talk about it. He never mentioned what sheâd told him at all, which she was grateful for. She really didnât want to discuss it again yet.
On Tuesday she saw Dr. Rawlins again. This visit was far less stressful. They discussed coping strategies and Dr. Rawlins reiterated that nothing that happened had been Bexâs fault. Intellectually, she understood this. It was logical. It didnât keep her from running down a series of what-ifs.
Likewise, she applied those same what-ifs to what happened to Christa. What if Bex had stayed in the back of the plane and Christa had gone to get the air marshal? What if Bex had tried to fight the guy? What if Bex had screamed louder?
So many questions. None of them answerable. None of them mattered. What was done was done. Thank God Christa lived through the incident and appeared to be emotionally recovering faster than Bex.
Bex had yet to tell her boss or any of her friends that she wouldnât be returning to work. Hell, she had yet to completely internalize this concept herself.
Bracken set a hand on Bexâs shoulder, capturing her attention. She was sitting in the corner of his couch, staring into space, thinking. She hadnât noticed that the sun had gone down and it had grown dark in the room and she was sitting in dim lighting.
Bracken slid onto the sofa next to her. âYou okay?â
She sighed. âI was just thinking about what the hell Iâm going to do next. I feel panicky every time I picture myself working for Open Skies. On the one hand, it seems incomprehensible. On the other hand, I shouldnât quit my job until I have another one lined up. I need to suck it up and get back on the plane.â
She shuddered. Who was she kidding?
âDonât beat yourself up over the job. If youâre not feeling it, take a few more weeks off or give your notice.â
She glanced at her hands, wringing her fingers together. âI feel like a failure.â
He grabbed her hands and squeezed. âYouâre not a failure. People quit their jobs every day.â
âNot because they canât emotionally handle returning.â She groaned.
âSure, they do. Youâre not the first person to suffer a traumatic experience and not return to the place where it happened.â
He had a point. âI canât just sit on your couch for weeks on end not working.
