No stranger to therapy, Eva sat in Russ's familiar lounge-esque office as she awaited his arrival, staring out the window behind his desk with little tension in her body. She'd just gotten out of Spanish IV and had scurried to help keep Urge from waiting. But he'd texted he'd been delayed and she was okay with it. Really. It gave her time to consider what exactly she was going to tell him. Warren had urged her to have a chat with Russ, and here she was. But her self-diagnosed addiction might be renamed as what she thought it probably was - a blatant affair and lack of self control. This was what troubled her. Russ wasn't judgey, of course not. It was how she'd remained so loose while awaiting his appearance. But she didn't want to have to take a vote of no confidence back to Warren in her report.
On the other hand, the wife and mother in her felt that calling what she was experiencing an addiction was admitting weakness and frailty and helplessness. The whole ordeal was a lose-lose for the electrokine. On the up side, she hadn't had a run-in with Ronan yet. Didn't he care? It'd only been 18 hours since she'd arrived back in the country though, and all of those hours had been spent with other people. Was he going to try? He was probably waiting until she was alone. When they could be alone. The laptop on Russ's desk cracked with static. The doorknob turned and she sat up straighter, subconsciously not wishing to appear nonchalant about the gravity of her present predicament.
