I pulled up the local counseling directory on my phone. Searching for someone specialized in grief. And there it was: "Jennifer Davis, MA, LMFT." My stomach lurched, but in a peculiar way, not the way of dread. A grin spread across my features.

A therapist? Jennifer Davis, the girl who used to call me "four eyes" and trip me in the hallway? This was… amazing. I giggled, a sound that escaped my lips without conscious thought.

I made the appointment. I needed to witness this, to see her in action. I started to hum a tune as I went through the steps. The whole situation was just… hilarious.
