"Well?" Her psychiatrist asks again. "Which is it? Are you afraid he won't wait – or that he will?"

Beckett refuses to meet the man's eyes. She doesn't want to think about the answer to his question, she only came here to vent her frustrations.

Liar. Her mother's voice is clear as day in her head. The truth now Katie.

"Both." She confesses – her voice small.

"Why are you afraid that he will wait?" The doctor asks curiously.

Beckett sighs, and meets her doctor's eyes. "Because every day he waits just proves how much love he's capable of, and I'm hurting him. I'm not being fair – I know I'm not. I want him to be happy more than anything . . . but I still want him to wait. And I just keep thinking that he'll wait . . . but then he'll discover I'm not enough."

The doctor looks non-committal. "Why wouldn't you be enough?" He asks.

The cop looks terrified, "Because he's everything."
