The Waiting Room

You’ve been seeing the same therapist for months — just enough to stay afloat. Another patient, just as frayed, starts showing up at the same time. One rainy afternoon, a song slips from her headphones and you finally talk. When your therapist sees you together, her expression turns cold — like she’s watching something she shouldn’t. What follows isn’t just romance. It’s a test of empathy, timing and how much weight you’re willing to carry for the people you start to care about.
