Ava sat distractedly in the group therapy session. Apparently, she wasn’t the only one either. Daisy kept looking at her wristwatch and the clock, making her feel like it was bothering her to hold therapy tonight.

Her mother was watching Aurora tonight at her apartment. This meant that she’d end up with a pep talk on how she needed to maintain her home better for the baby. She was doing the best she could with what little time she had. The house was clean but scrubbing the baseboards or dusting daily just wasn’t going to happen. The free help was invaluable, so it was worth a little parental coaching on a weekly basis.

“Ava? Did you have anything you wanted to talk about tonight?” Daisy asked her suddenly, startling her out of her reverie. Glancing at the woman, she found herself speaking before her mind had a chance to catch up.

“How do you move on?”

Wincing, Ava couldn’t believe she’d asked that aloud. That was more of a personal question that opened a floodgate of more questions and possibilities. She instantly felt twelve sets of eyes on her and wanted to sink down into her seat except that Rags would probably follow and lick her shoes there too.

“Actually, there is no set timeframe,” Daisy answered honestly, looking at her with curiosity in her eyes. “It’s more of a personal choice. You have to be brave enough to take the first step, and then the next one. Before you know it, you look back and realize how far you’ve come. Is there something in particular you are referring to or want to share?”

“No,” Ava squeaked, pushing Rags away from her shoe. The dog was licking her canvas sneakers that she’d worn to work earlier in the day. “No, I’m good. Just was curious, you know?”

“You know, animals sometimes sense when someone needs attention or affection. You are the only one Rags ever does that to.”

“I don’t get why either,” Ava muttered, nudging the dog again. The light-colored dog would slide across the floor slowly and then come right back to her foot, licking her shoe happily again. “I’m fine and don’t need either, you know?”

“Maybe she senses something and…”

“No,” Ava interjected quickly, meeting Daisy’s eyes. “I’m fine. There is nothing to talk about.”

“No problem,” Daisy said smoothly, looking away from Ava. “Does anyone else want to talk about anything?” When no one spoke up, she smiled brightly and clapped her hands. “Then I guess we are finished today.”

Ava stood up and watched Daisy go talk to a woman sitting at the back of the room with dark hair. The two nodded and Daisy met her eyes, looking curious. Ava suddenly got the impression that the two women were talking about her and immediately felt uneasy as everyone else filed out of the room.

“Are you sure everything is alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“Okay,” Daisy began and pointed at the dark-haired woman. “Lily and I are going to lock up and put away the dogs. If you need something, you are always welcome to call or come by at any time.
