Pretty Little Liars 3 - Perfect

A GOOD SMACK UPSIDE THE HEAD NEVER HURT ANYONE

On Thursday morning, Dr. Evans shut her office door, settled into her leather chair, folded her hands placidly, and smiled at Spencer, who was sitting opposite her. So. I hear you had a photo shoot and interview yesterday with the Sentinel.

Thats right, Spencer answered.

And how did that go?

Fine. Spencer took a sip of her extra-large Starbucks vanilla latte. The interview actually had gone fine, even after all of Spencers worryingand As threats. Jordana had barely asked her about the essay, and Matthew had told her the pictures looked exquisite.

And how did your sister deal with you being in the spotlight? Dr. Evans asked. When Spencer raised an eyebrow, Dr. Evans shrugged and leaned forward. Have you ever thought she might be jealous of you?

Spencer glanced anxiously at Dr. Evanss closed door. Melissa was sitting outside on the waiting room couch, reading Travel + Leisure. Yet again, shed scheduled her session for right after Spencers.

Dont worry, she cant hear you, Dr. Evans assured her.

Spencer sighed. She seemed sort of...pissed, she said in a low voice. Usually, its all about Melissa. Even when my parents just ask me a question, Melissa immediately tries to steer the conversation back to her. She stared at the undulating silver Tiffany ring on her pointer finger. I think she hates me.

Dr. Evans tapped her notebook. Youve felt like she hates you for a long time, right? How does that make you feel?

Spencer shrugged, hugging one of Dr. Evanss forest green chenille pillows to her chest. Angry, I guess. Sometimes I get so frustrated about the way things are, I just want to...hit her. I dont, obviously, but

But it would feel good though, wouldnt it?

Spencer nodded, staring at Dr. Evanss chrome gooseneck lamp. Once, after Melissa told Spencer she wasnt a very good actress, Spencer had come really close to punching Melissa in the face. Instead, shed flung one of her mothers Spode Christmas plates across the dining room. It had shattered, leaving a butterfly-shaped crack in the wall.

Dr. Evans flipped a page in her notebook. How do your parents deal with your and your sisters...animosity?

Spencer raised one shoulder. Mostly, they dont. If you asked my mom, shed probably say that we get along perfectly.

Dr. Evans sat back and thought for a long time. She tapped the drinking-bird toy on her desk, and the plastic bird started taking measured sips of water out of an I HEART ROSEWOOD , PA , coffee mug. This is just an early theory, but perhaps Melissa is afraid that if your parents recognize something youve done well, theyll love you instead of her.

Spencer cocked her head. Really?

Maybe. You, on the other hand, think your parents dont love you at all. Its all about Melissa. You dont know how to compete with her, so thats where her boyfriends come in. But maybe its not that you want Melissas boyfriends exactly, but more that you want to hurt Melissa herself. Sound right?

Spencer nodded thoughtfully.
