Charlotte pulled in behind Glynn’s Camry. Her intention had been to talk frankly tonight about their friendship and the restrictions of her professional code. But after their brief conversation this morning, it was clear Glynn needed to vent her frustrations about Sebby first.

Fresh from her racquetball game, she wore her parka with Stanford sweatpants and a long-sleeved T-shirt. The front door opened as she reached the top step.

“Did you win?”

“I didn’t get hit by my partner this time. That’s better than winning.”

Glynn led her into the family room and turned the digital television to a music channel playing uninterrupted soft jazz.

Charlotte settled on the couch beside her, following her lead to kick off her shoes and place her feet on the coffee table. “You sounded this morning like you were having a tough day. Want to talk about it?”

Glynn took a deep breath. “I told you most of it. Mark says he thinks I should stay away from Sebby while he’s working through some tough issues. He said he didn’t want him to feel like he was being pulled in different directions. I don’t know why he would feel that way unless I’m the one he’s fighting.”

“It doesn’t have to mean that. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to get patients to go back to the time when the problem started. Maybe Mark’s afraid that seeing you will make Sebby want to come back to the here and now because it feels more comfortable.”

“Do you really think it could be that?”

“It could be a lot of things. Maybe Sebby’s hiding things because he thinks he’s protecting you.”

“From what?”

She shrugged. “Maybe he just doesn’t want to talk about the details of his father’s death because he’s afraid it will make you sad again.”

“But what if that’s not it? What if Sebby feels like I’ve abandoned him? Wouldn’t it be better for me to talk to him so he’ll know I haven’t?”

Charlotte realized too late what she had walked into. She shifted sideways to look Glynn in the eye. “I have to be very careful here, Glynn. Remember when I said we could talk about Sebby, but it wouldn’t be right for me to talk about his treatment?”

Glynn nodded.

“I’ve probably already said too much by speculating on why Mark wants you to stay clear. It would be unprofessional for me to give you advice, especially to tell you anything that runs counter to what Mark says. He’s the one in charge of Sebby’s treatment, and you should talk directly with him if you have more questions or doubts.”

“I’m sorry. I did just what you asked me not to do.”

“No, it was my fault. I was trying to have it both ways. I want to be here for you, Glynn. I told you to let me share the load, and I know it must seem as if I’m pulling the rug out from under you.”

“I think it’s more a matter of me taking advantage of you. You also told me you couldn’t talk about Sebby’s treatment.
