Lila was a rare person that loved Mondays. Her weekends were boring, usually spent pestering Lulu into doing something or catching up on work, maybe going for a run. She, admittedly, had a very simple life outside of her clients. She loved her work, helping people through their issues. She felt honored they allowed her into their more vulnerable moments, willing to expose themselves to her. She was grateful for that kind of trust.
One client she was especially grateful for was Giovanni Sanfilippo. He had stuck with her almost ten years while she grew from a counselor to a full fledged doctor. She, in turn, had the opportunity to see him grow from an unsure and wounded child into a much stronger adult. Indeed, his circumstances could have broken him, but he chose to work past it. She was very proud of Gio and all he had accomplished.
He was due in her office in a few minutes, so she grabbed his file and began to read, then got a call from another patient. She was still on the phone when the receptionist buzzed her.
"Your ten o'clock, Doctor Michaels."
"Thank you, Martha."
She hung up the phone, gathered her files, and headed out to the reception area to meet Gio.
