I’d dreamt of him that night. So I was almost ready for her question as I was seated in her big leather patient’s chair. “So you like this guy then, this Nick?” Dr. Lowell would have done well in the Spanish Inquisition.

“Yeah, I guess I do,” I admitted.

“What about Simon? You still seeing him?”

I shrugged. “Sort of? It’s complicated.” Great. Reducing my life to a Facebook status.

“And you think a relationship with Nick would mean something?”

I felt my ears turn red. “God, no, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with me, it’s just so . . . refreshing to be able to be with a man who’s honest and forthright and basic.” Not to mention handsome, smart, and nice to my son. And arrogant, intimidating, and totally determined to keep everything professional.

“So what are you going to do?”

“Do? I can’t do anything.”

She frowned in that “you’ve regressed” way. “You most certainly can, Molly Hagan.” I’d have said she was talking to me as if she were my mother, but my mother never talked to me that way. “If you like this Nick, then you should tell him. If you want to just have a sexual relationship with this Simon, do it. And Aidan—”

“I don’t suppose I could just tell him I want to sleep late on Saturdays, could I?” I asked.

“No, but you will have to talk more to him about his father and you and the changes in your relationship.”

I thought about how upset he got when Simon mentioned leaving without him. “I will. More, at least, I mean. He has noticed Hugh isn’t living there any longer.”

She regarded me over the tops of her glasses. “Of course, Molly, but Aidan is young. You forget that sometimes because his vocabulary is so large. But his emotional age is still six, and it’s important to keep his concerns in mind and try to address them before they become an issue.”

I heaved a breath of exhaustion. “But what if I just want to crawl into a hole and pull the covers over my head? What then?”

“Why then, my dear,” she replied drily, “you will miss out on the joy of watching your son grow and thrive, seeing yourself grow and thrive, and completing next week’s assignment.”

“Which is?”

“Do something you would never do in a million years.”
