I can’t talk Sebastian out of taking me to work. With only two days left to the full moon, he insists it is too risky for me to be unaccompanied. He says we don’t know what my reactions will be or when they will start to exhibit. The fact is, he always insists on taking me to work unless he has something going on at the club. It’s been months since I’ve taken the bus. Bast walks me to the door and gives me a long kiss goodbye.

“I’ll be here to pick you up, Cherie. Don’t leave without me being here. Are you sure you are up to this?”

“Yes. I have to be. I switched my schedule around so I could have those three days off for the full moon. I’ll be fine, honey. Now scoot!”

I pat him on the butt and send him on his way. He gives me a stern look and walks to the car. Sexy Frenchmen prefer patting to being patted.

I key code myself in and head to the coffee maker. Imbibing in the excellent coffee is one of the chief perks of my job. After preparing my java fix, I wind my way through the cubicles, to my private work station. Out comes my stash of cleaning supplies. First I have to handi-wipe all the surfaces, then I Lysol the headphones and then finally I use my hand sanitizer. Ahhh, how sweet it is. Furtively I check for Meredith—the self-appointed personal effects Nazi. She is not at the supervisor’s desk, maybe she’s off tonight. My red light is already blinking. It will be a busy night.

My first caller is my only caller. A classic bipolar. She has spent a huge amount of money during her manic phase and has a wild time until she eventually comes down. The problem with bipolars is that they come way down and she is now way, way down and couldn’t see a way out. She feels hopeless and depressed and suicidal. She is completely off her meds. We talk for three and a half hours before I am able to get an address out of her. This is one of those situations where we just have to call an ambulance. She needs twenty-four hour monitoring in a hospital. She is too much of a threat to herself and can’t make a verbal contract or go to a friend’s or family member’s house until tomorrow. We can’t let her off the phone to arrange it. It’s that serious. A trip to the counselors isn’t going to help her.

I’m able to have my supervisor call 911 while I keep her on the line. I talk her through it. It’s nights like this that make my job worth it. I really feel like I’ve done something to make a big difference in someone’s life. I know I saved her life tonight. All of this makes me a little late coming out. I am surprised to find Aidan waiting for me instead of Sebastian.
