That afternoon, Ryan went to the personnel office. He arranged to have the rest of the week off; starting the day André was to go home. He made arrangements with Rita to have one of the other SL therapists take his clients for a couple of days. He hadn’t a clue as to whether or not André would be willing to accept his offer; but he thought it would be best to be prepared. Even if André didn’t accept, he figured he could use the time off. He hadn’t had any in a long time, and hadn’t even taken any after the break-up with Jeff. The thought of that caused him to stop and ponder why he was doing this. Was he just being a Good Samaritan, or was he hoping for s****l release with a great looking guy? Or was he stumbling down yet another path to a relationship that would wind up hurting him again?
