CHAPTER SIX
“Just by maintaining this relationship you are making progress, Bobby,” Lyssa said in her soothing doctor voice to the redhead on her patient couch. “We’ve known all along that this was going to be difficult.”
“She’s beautiful… I don’t think she’ll understand,” Bobby said. “How do I explain…?”
“Don’t feel like you have to rush. As the relationship develops, you’ll grow closer. You don’t have to feel pressured into revealing more of yourself than you’re comfortable with.”
He sighed. “You’re so understanding… talking to her won’t be like talking to you.”
“No,” she said. “We’re all individuals and I’m your doctor, not your girlfriend.” She paused. “You’re seeing her on Saturday night. Take it one date at a time, Bobby. I’m very proud of all you’ve achieved so far.”
Praise al
