Even though the counselor was to help them both the burden of helping the empath adjust had been more than she had expected. She considered gerself a strong person. She had survived a lot of shot. But she had never had to help someone. She had no idea how to do it. Her whole life had focused on independence. 

[color=blue]"Put it on the calendar."[/color] Wednesday was a decent day. It gave her time to prepare and to catch up. The shop was open almost every day. She had nothing else to fill her life so she only closed when she had to. If she was too sick to work. Which had only been a handful of times since she had inherited the shop. She wanted to repay Zed for giving her a chance. She knew if he hadn't she would still be working for her father. 

[color=blue]"Let me know when you're done eating."[/color] She pushed the thought of her father out of her mind. She didn't want to think about that. She had a new life now. Sort of. He was trying to sneak back in and she had no idea how to stop it. Jess had given him an opening and there was no changing that. All she could do now was limit the damage as much as possible.
