Chapter 80
Sasha sighed heavily. The words flowed from her mouth in a completely unorganized manner. Ben took a seat at the table and listened to her relay the events of the past months as well. She told them about Eric's phone calls and how they upset her. She mentioned Brian and his divorce and the feelings she had for him. Her thoughts were completely jumbled but after 30 minutes, she had managed to tell the two counselors everything she had been holding in for several months.
Trevor shook his head. "Let me see if I have this straight Sasha." He held up his hand to her, counting on his fingers as he relayed the key points in her story. "First, your brother moved within a few hours of you. Very few if he chooses to fly, which poses a threat to you both physically as well as mentally." He added a second finger. "Your boss went through a divorce and started relying heavily on you to run the business in his absence." Another finger. "You had a MAJOR break through in remembering how your abuse began and it took place in front of someone." Another finger. "You think you are falling in love with your boss and he is feeling the same way about you." He added a fifth finger. "And lastly, throughout all of this, Eric has been calling and harassing you, which leads us back to your mental as well as physical health being in jeopardy." He shook his head again. "And you thought you could handle all of this by yourself? Are you nuts Sasha?"
Sasha pursed her lips. "You're close. I never said I was falling in love with Brian or that he was falling in love with me."
"But you do feel that way don't you?" Ben asked cautiously.
"I don't know what I feel Ben!" She shook her head. "I told him I'm an SI." She whispered.
Trevor and Ben exchanged wide-eyed glances. "You told him you're an SI Sasha?" Trevor asked excitedly. "Add break through number 2 to the list!" He reached out and placed his hand on Sasha's arm. "You do realize that is another very major break through in conquering your disease, don't you Sasha?"
"I didn't mean to tell him Trevor. It just slipped out."
"How did it slip out Sasha?"
