CHAPTER THREE

Aiden arrived on the dot, every single week for the next few months. We never discussed the fundraiser. It never came up in sessions, even if it should have, and I never dared to think about it on my own.

Except that was a lie. I thought about it constantly. Mostly at night, always after I’d gone out with friends and had a glass of wine or at the end of the night where a date had ended and hadn’t got me off anywhere near as well as Aiden had, in a room of people who had no idea.

Each time, we discussed various elements of his life and I forced him to look at his ability to make real connections and to deal with the loss of Anne. He liked control and was good at it, but he had to let go of what he couldn’t control, and that was Anne’s death. At the beginning, it was rough for no other reason than he was stubborn. He wanted to work on his depression and changing his need to rewrite history—an impossible task.

Months passed and his passion for rewriting history changed to revisiting it and seeing it another way. Slowly, I watched him conquer something which had brought him to the ground. I couldn’t say how he was doing it, exactly, because he didn’t always listen to me or do as I asked, even though he was working hard on himself. But he was letting go and forgiving himself. The burden was lessening. He was the guy who the magazine covers said he was, and he didn’t resent that guy so much … if at all, any more.

He seemed happier and healthier, and I could tell that while this man had experienced a ton of hardship, he could carry all of their weights, plus the enormous responsibility of his life and work.

It was time for our sessions to end.

That killed me because I didn’t want to lose him. It wasn’t that he was a great client or that he was hot and gave me the greatest fantasies to dream over. But I respected him. I liked who he was… a lot. I hated to even admit it, but I also began to realize I was falling head over heels for the man.

I’d never really understood love despite years of training. I could articulate it, spot it—whether it was real or fake, how it hurt people and when to run. But who and how it happened to, when and why it was unrequited, that part was always lost on me.

No matter. I gave my standard spiel. Aiden knew we were coming to an end. I’d been working us up to this point, and today was the day I would tell him it would be our last session. We both knew I’d say it and the words had finally fallen off my tongue. It hurt. Literally. My insides ached. I had already cleared my schedule for the day, and was going to go home and sulk.
