[ sitting at her desk, legs crossed & a hand resting lazily on a pile of papers (charts) on her desk, a finger tapping at it rather impatiently. ]

Comments

[ nods a few more times, as if simply making the motions out of habit. ]

Yes, I do hope they return with some good news. I still believe their time together is of vital importance towards, ah... "recovery", if you will.

[ shrugs with a small 'hm'. ]

Either that or they do more harm than good.

[ shakes his head slightly. ]

Avoidance is just as bad. If only they could open up to one another...

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

[ stops himself, a hand over his mouth again, dazing off for a minute in thought. ]

... ah, but I suppose I should leave it up to them.

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

And your guidance and expertise, Doctor.

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

[ smiles ever-so slightly despite himself. ]

I will continue to do my best, then.

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

I know. [ turns herself back to the desk & waves him away. ]

Run along, now. I have a few more things I have to take care of.

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

Ah, of course.

[ stands and picks up his blazer, folding it over once and placing it upon his forearm. ]

Do you need anything before I leave?

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

Not in particular, no.

[ gives him a sideways glance. ] But~ you're taking me out to lunch tomorrow. Do try not to be late.

I... will certainly try not to be.

[ bows his head slightly in silent thanks for her company, turning to finally make his exit. ]

...

[ it takes him a solid ten minutes to remember the abandoned suitcase he had accidentally left on the floor; walks in again, quietly uttering a few apologies underneath his breath as to not disturb her any further, finding his way back out the door as if nothing had ever happened. ]

[ sighs at the scene, but does not speak, merely going back to her work as soon as he leaves a second time, going back to preparing her charts for her patients that would be returning this week. ]
