Chapter 8

Cara got a response to her email faster than she expected and quickly read the description of the case. It was a fourteen-year-old boy who had been in a car accident. He was in a coma, and the family was desperate to try anything that could bring him back out. He’d already been comatose for three weeks and showed no signs of coming back to full awareness. She frowned at that.

She immediately sent a response, asking for the medical records, stating that she refused to look at any case without that type of background information and that she only took on cases where she felt she could do something. In this case, she wasn’t exactly sure anybody could do anything, but it was too early to tell. Then she went back and started thinking about her own apartment, trying to figure out what she wanted to do.

Even before this assignment had come up with Terk, she had been wondering about letting her apartment go and just renting short-term or maybe even hoteling it for a while. Traveling sounded pretty decent too, given the circumstances she was currently under, but it was all in theoretical states at present. Nothing she could really do right now until she was fully disconnected from Rick and this case.

She was working on it, but, every time she went to yank out more of her energy, she found resistance. She wasn’t sure what the resistance was, but it caused her some trouble. Again it was different because, often at this stage, they were either awake and had other people to love them, so she could hand them off, or they’d crossed over to the other side, and she would be separated from her patient that way. It was all a bit of a mess with Rick, and she didn’t quite know how to handle it, but she was working on it.

Nothing quite like knowing you had some shit to deal with to help you get your act together but not being in a position to deal with it. Finally sensing a restlessness that she didn’t know how to address, she got up and wandered toward the commercial kitchen, finding Mariana putting together a meal. “So, do you know something I don’t know?” she asked, with a note of humor.

Mariana looked at her, smiled. “I can’t imagine what that would be. I just know that people need to be fed, and it gives me something to do on a regular basis, a way to contribute.”

“I get that, and, in fact, I’m almost jealous,” Cara admitted. “I was fully occupied before, caring for Rick, and now I’m at loose ends.”

“And was there actually stuff to do?” she asked. “I’m not trying to question what you do at all, but, I mean, it seems like it’s all in the mind.”

“Lots of it is,” she confirmed, “but a lot of it isn’t. A lot of energy work entails keeping Rick connected yet isolated, without other people interfering. In his case, it was mostly the rest of his team.
