Dr. Kahn held my gaze.
“Why he believes that is something Theo needs to explain.”
“And he thinks that was pity?”
Something cold moved through me because, suddenly, I remembered an email, an old appointment, and one night I had tried very hard to forget.

Theo sat at our kitchen table. His duffel bag rested beside the door.
“Dr. Kahn talked to me.”

“Dr. Kahn talked to me.”

“What do you want me to say?”
“The truth.”
He stared at me.
“Were you going to leave me?”
I looked away.
