I got to the park at about half an hour before sunset, and the first thing I saw when I pulled up was a lone Savage Kings motorcycle, answering a question that really wasn’t much in doubt when I had arrived.

The only reason question then, now, was whether Zane would be waiting for me or if he “accidentally” bumped into me. We sounded like such middle schoolers trying to make this work, but, well, this wasn’t exactly a typical adult interaction, either.

I started on the trail, about a mile and a half loop, and kept my eyes trained for Zane. I didn’t see him anywhere for the first quarter-mile, so rather than continue to look for him, I decided to just try and stay present.

Easier said than done, of course, considering all that was going on, but if I was going to tell my therapy patients to stop and smell the roses, I had better do the literal same.

That was, up until the point when I heard someone jogging, turned around, and saw Zane approaching. I hadn’t seen him behind me, so he either had plotted to come up to me at this point, or I had missed an alternative part of the trail that he was on. And I knew this park pretty well; he had to have been hiding off trail, waiting for me to appear, to do this.

Creepy? Not really. For someone I didn’t like or didn’t have this oddball of a situation with, maybe.

“Well, fancy seeing you here,” he said, as if the whole thing was a surprise.

“I see you started listening during our therapy sessions,” I teased back. “What else have you learned from our sessions?”

“Oh, many things,” he said with a laugh. “I’ve learned to be more open and honest. I’ve learned that I need to take time to myself to reflect on my feelings. And I’ve learned when other people are hiding how they really feel. Including you.”

Guess we’re really getting right to it, huh?

“Listen, Renee, forgive me for being so straightforward, but I best operate by telling the truth and nothing but the truth, so that’s what you’re going to get here. You know I like you and think you’re attractive. I know that you’re attracted to me.”

“Oh—”

“Don’t even try,” he said with a laugh. “I know, I know, you have to be a professional and keep your distance. OK, cool. But you can do that while also acknowledging how you really feel.”

I went mute.

“Well, I’ll take your silence as assent then,” he said, patting me on the back and letting his hand slide lower. “You know I can be the keeper of secrets. You know that whatever happens between us, no one will ever know a thing about. You know—”

“I know, Zane, that that may be true, but it doesn’t matter,” I said, even as I wanted to believe that it did matter. “You’re handsome, sure. You’re funny. I can see why the women of Romara like you. But I can’t risk it.
