EDIT: Someone was confused; I hope my edit made it a little more easier to understand.
MISTAKES
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings'.
-Dave Barry
"And why exactly are you here?"
If Reid were to answer truthfully, he would no doubt be cast away again for his brash sardonic responses. Just because he was miserable didn't mean he had to be punished for it. "You'll help with my nightmares."
"Is that what you think or what your boss thinks?"
Reid yawned, rolling his eyes at such obvious rudimentary cognitive manipulation. "I don't know." Better to play naïve and unknowing.
"Men with IQ like yours can't help but know. I'll only ask one more time, do you think that these sessions will benefit you?"
"I believe that you'll only help me as far as I allow you to." A lie within a lie, as much as Reid wanted help, he doubted that this woman would give it to him. Reid was tempted to roll his eyes, such an unproductive first sitting. "What do you want to know?"
Instantly she responded, "What will you tell me?" I'd love to tell you how vexing you are.
"Honestly?" The woman looked genuinely enthused. Reid quirked his lips, "Nothing really."
"I see." She concluded that Reid was going to be stubborn the four weeks he was scheduled to come for therapy. "Let's begin with introductions then." She nodded to him, indicating that he would start this mundane exercise first. The doctor sighed, "Doctor Spencer Reid."
She smiled, her teeth flashing from the overhead light. "Doctor?"
Infuriating. Reid rolled his eyes quickly, "Doctor."
"That's impressive, let's talk about that." She looked down at her notes and Reid immediately scowled, gritting his teeth he answered, "I received five degrees. I've nothing to say about it."
"Well surely your family was proud."
Reid ignored her jab, "Right. Your name?"
She smiled gleefully, "Doctor Claire Harper."
"Doctor?"
"Three degrees."
Reid grunted, "Doctor Harper, then."
