______________

One of my earliest readers for this story asked me if it was important that Clyota have a therapist.   I personally thought that anyone whose mother was a famous space hero-turned-mass murderer should at least consider it, if only for a place to duck the paparazzi for an hour once a week . . . 

 I’d called Rafe to cancel my appointment, since I would have to meet with my defense lawyer.  I didn’t tell him that, and he didn’t ask.  He only said that if Thursday wasn’t good, he had the afternoon free, if I wanted to talk.

I didn’t want to talk—I wanted to scream and throw things and crawl into a hole and make the world forget it had ever heard of me.  This was probably, I decided, exactly the frame of mind of someone who needed to talk to a psychologist.

So, I went.
