The waiting room was tastefully decorated, filled with comfortable furniture and soft lighting. Amelia fidgeted with her purse, the anxiety churning in her stomach. Her therapist was Dr. Eleanor Vance, and she'd been looking forward to her first session. Until she saw the name on the door. It was the Eleanor Vance who used to make fun of her clothes, the Eleanor Vance who once spread a rumor about her. A wave of heat washed over her, making her cheeks flush.

The door opened. Eleanor Vance. Older, wiser, and with a gentle smile that seemed to erase the past. “Amelia, come in. I’m so glad to finally meet you.”

Amelia stood there, momentarily speechless. The woman was offering her a genuine smile, a gesture she wouldn’t have envisioned in a million years. She followed, stunned, her jaw slightly agape.

"Have a seat, tell me what's going on."
