A small smile played on her lips as she thought about it. *Him*. Of all people. The very same one who had made her life a living hell in the fifth grade, now a *therapist*. The irony was almost too much.

She adjusted the strap of her bag, the leather cool against her skin. This was going to be hilarious, and a huge relief.
