Me thinks I feel Kitkat syndrome setting in...don't know that I can space the rest of these out too much more...
He's due to arrive in twenty minutes.
Why isn't Alice here yet?
Em had to go out of town for a medical conference this week so he couldn't be here.
But Alice promised she would.
I had no idea how the appointment was going to go, but I wanted her here in case I froze.
In case I couldn't talk about it.
Basically be available to hold my hand.
There's a knock at the door before it swings open.
Alice.
"Hey big brother," she chirped as she came to stand in front of me.
She opened her arms wide, but waited for me to make the move.
I stepped into her arms and lightly wrapped my arms around her, gave her a quick squeeze and then stepped back, releasing the breath I'd been holding.
"Thank you for coming, Alice," I said sincerely.
"Anytime, Edward. Now, do you have refreshments ready?"
"Refreshments? No, this is a doctor's visit, not an afternoon tea," I said, rolling my eyes at her.
Her eyes twinkled.
"Well, something tells me that some sweet tea and graham crackers are going to go a long way towards breaking the ice."
I was speechless as she flitted off to my kitchen.
Perhaps I wasn't the only one that needed therapy...
