She planted her hands on the desk and leaned forward. “You’ve met him now. Do you really think he’d let me squirm out of it?” She snorted. “That man is the ultimate mother hen, which is frankly hilarious given the fact that I was the one that raised two children. He’s more savvy than he seems. I’m sure you two will have no issues,” she said, shaking her head.

“Of that I have no doubt. Well I better get going. I’ve disappeared from the hospital long enough. They will send a search oarty out rather than try my comm.” Sharah stood and grabbed her bag, lifting it to her shoulder.

Rising and moving around the desk, Eela gazed at Sharah intently, gratitude filling her hazel eyes. She leaned in and wrapped her arms around the younger woman and just held her gently. “Thank you,” she whispered. It was more than just the plant, or the exercise. It was the understanding and having someone hold space for her. This process she was embarking on to undo the false beliefs she had was more than just reframing thoughts. She would have to confront a lot of things that had had and see them how they truly were, not as she had wished them to be. It was bound to be painful, but Eela Dasca was made of stern stuff. And with friend like Sharah, she’d make it through.

Sharah hugged her back receiving and giving warmth. This was going to havevto go in that infernal journal now. She pulled back after a moment and shook her head. “It’s what friends do, Eela. Now let me let you get back to work before Cort doesn’t like me.”

Eela let out a throaty chuckle. “More like he’ll harass me later for working too late, so yes, I really should get started on all this. Have a good Sharah,” she said before moving back around to her seat. Settling in, she reached out and touched her plant, letting it respond to her. It just made her smile, plain and simple.

Sharah headed out the office door and looked around, spotting the aid she walked right up to him, “Just the person I need to talk to.”

Fayth, SFCMO

In his office, Belanger swivelled in his chair and flashed a grin. “Uh oh? That means a few different things and I’m not sure if it’s a good one or not,” he said with a light laugh. “What can I do for you, Doctor?”
