Jenna sat down, trying to compose herself. Ryan reluctantly sat down beside her, his eyes fixed on the floor. Dr. Walter smiled warmly at them. "I understand that you're both here to work on some issues in your marriage. Can you tell me a little bit about what's been going on?" Jenna hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about Dr. Walter's kind and non-judgmental demeanor put her at ease. She took a deep breath and began to tell him about the problems in their marriage. As she spoke, Jenna couldn't help but notice the way Dr. Walter listened intently, his eyes locked on hers. She felt a sense of connection with him that she couldn't explain, and it made her feel both comfortable and uneasy at the same time. Cody leaned forward, his eyes locked on Ryan's. "So, Ryan, can you tell me a little bit about your s*x life with Jenna? What do you enjoy about it?" Ryan smiled, his eyes gleaming with a false sincerity. "Oh, everything. I love making love to Jenna. She's an amazing partner." Cody's eyes narrowed slightly. "I see. And can you tell me more about what you mean by 'making love'? What specific activities do you enjoy?" Ryan hesitated, his smile faltering for a moment. "Uh, well... I think we just enjoy... being together. You know?" Cody's gaze turned skeptical. "I see. And Jenna, can you tell me more about your experiences with Ryan? What do you enjoy about your s*x life together?" Jenna hesitated, her eyes darting nervously to Ryan before returning to Cody. "I... I don't know. I just feel like... we don't really connect, I guess. It's just... mechanical." Cody's eyes softened with compassion. "I see. And can you tell me more about what you mean by 'mechanical'? Is there a lack of intimacy or emotional connection?" Jenna nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Yes. It's just... he doesn't really care about what I want or need. He just... does his own thing." Ryan shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes flashing with anger. "That's not true, Jenna. I do care about what you want." Cody's gaze turned stern. "Ryan, I need you to listen to Jenna's perspective without interrupting or becoming defensive. Can you do that for me?" Ryan nodded, his jaw clenched in anger. Cody turned back to Jenna. "Jenna, can you tell me more about what you're looking for in your s*x life with Ryan? What would make you feel more connected and intimate?" Jenna took a deep breath, her eyes locked on Cody's. "I just want to feel like... he cares about me. Like he's really present and listening to me. I want to feel like we're connected, like we're really making love, not just... having sex." Cody nodded, his eyes filled with compassion. "I understand. And Ryan, can you tell me what you're looking for in your s*x life with Jenna?" Ryan shrugged, his eyes avoiding Cody's. "I don't know. I just want... things to go back to the way they were, I guess." Cody's gaze turned skeptical. "The way they were? Can you tell me more about what you mean by that?" Ryan hesitated, his eyes darting nervously to Jenna before returning to Cody. "I just mean... before all this... drama. Before Jenna started... complaining all the time." Cody's eyes narrowed slightly. "I see. And Jenna, can you tell me more about what you think Ryan means by 'drama' and 'complaining'?" Jenna's eyes flashed with anger. "He means... me standing up for myself. Me telling him how I really feel. He doesn't want to hear it, so he just... dismisses me." Cody nodded, his eyes filled with understanding. "I see. Well, I think that's enough for today. I'd like to schedule another appointment with you both for next week. Can you both commit to that?" It seems like you want to continue the story. Here is the continuation: Cody's eyes locked onto Jenna's, and he could see the desperation in them. He knew he had to help her, but he also knew that Ryan was not going to make it easy. "I'll schedule the appointment," Ryan said, standing up. "But I don't see why we need to come back. I think we've covered everything." Cody smiled, his eyes never leaving Ryan's face. "I'm afraid not, Ryan. We've only just begun to scratch the surface. I have a feeling that there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye." Ryan's face darkened, and for a moment, Cody thought he saw a flash of anger in his eyes. But then, Ryan's mask slipped back into place, and he smiled. "I'm sure you're just being cautious, Doctor," Ryan said. "But I assure you, everything is fine." Cody's eyes narrowed. He didn't believe Ryan for a second. But he also knew that he had to tread carefully. He couldn't push Ryan too hard, not yet. "I'm glad to hear that, Ryan," Cody said, smiling. "But I still think it's best if we schedule another appointment. Just to make sure everything is okay." Ryan nodded, his eyes never leaving Cody's face. "Fine. I'll schedule the appointment." As Ryan turned to leave, Cody caught Jenna's eye. He smiled, trying to reassure her. But Jenna just looked scared. What do you think happens next? Cody's voice was firm but calm. "Ryan, I think it's best if you leave now. I'd like to have a one-on-one discussion with Jenna." Ryan's face turned red with anger. "No way! I'm not leaving her alone with you!" Jenna tried to calm him down, but Ryan was beyond reason. He began to call her names, his voice rising to a shout. Cody stood up, his eyes flashing with anger. "That's enough, Ryan! You will not speak to Jenna like that in my presence. Now, please leave before I call security." Ryan's face turned purple with rage, but he knew he was beaten. He stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. As the door slammed shut, Jenna let out a sigh of relief. Cody immediately went to her side, concern etched on his face. "Jenna, are you okay?" Cody asked gently, his voice a stark contrast to Ryan's angry outburst. Jenna nodded, still looking shaken. "Y-yes, I'm fine. Just a bit scared." Cody's expression turned grim. "You don't have to be scared, Jenna. I'm here to protect you. Now, let's talk about what's really going on."
