1. Early, but not as early.

2. Feet on cold tile.

3. Exactly what I was afraid of.

4. I give in an ask her for a chai latte. My first little bit of caffeine in a month.

5. It is so quiet in here you can hear a pin drop. I wonder if it’s because of who is in the room. It is not exactly a safe space.

6. Some progress.

7. At least we have a plan now.

8. The sun is beating down on my face but that isn’t the only thing making me sweat.

9. I tell her that I need a chocolate.

10. I head straight into the shower. Think through all that transpired. Wonder if I am the cause of my own discomfort. Did I bring it upon myself? Am I trying too hard? Should I just sit in my corner and be quiet?
