The sterile environment of the clinic did nothing to calm Clara's nerves. She hated doctors' offices, hated the smell of bleach, and hated the feeling of vulnerability. She was here for a consultation about her anger issues, which was a tough admission for her to make. As she waited to be seen, she heard her name called. The door opened and a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile gestured her in. When Clara saw her, she froze. It was Delilah. The girl who had made her life hell in High School, the girl who had ruthlessly teased and excluded her.

Clara felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She knew Delilah had been a troublemaker. She knew she'd caused irreparable damage to many people. Now, Delilah was a therapist. Clara wanted to turn and run, to escape this bizarre situation. She wanted to scream.
