with perfect posture.
    â€œWhat if I don’t need help?”
    â€œMr. Wells, you are in rehab.”
    â€œNot everyone in prison is an emotional, psychological mess.”
    â€œI suppose you could be right.” She turned her head to the side and thought about what he said for a moment.
    â€œSee,” Trevor uncrossed his arms and leaned his head against the palm of his hand.
    â€œIf that’s true, why are you so defensive toward all your counselors?”
    Trevor sat up and shrugged, “It’s who I am.”
    â€œGuarded behavior is a protective barrier.”
    â€œDid your fancy textbooks tell you that?”
    â€œMr. Wells, I know I have said this before but I want to help you.”
    â€œWill it make you happy if I kiss your butt? Should I tell you what you want to hear? Manipulation really isn’t my thing, but if that’s the key to these sessions ….”
    â€œNo, Mr. Wells.” The corners of her mouth fell and her tropical eyes lost their luster.
    â€œI don’t talk about my personal life.”
    â€œWhy? Do you feel that I am a stranger prying into your business?”
    â€œAssume what you want.”
    â€œThen I hope to become someone you can confide in. I know that will take time, so I won’t rush you.” Dr. Taylor turned her wrist watch. “You’re free to return to your room.”

    â€œHi.” Her infectious smile seized Trevor’s heart. He felt weak in the knees.
    â€œHi,” he grabbed her hand. “I’m glad you had a day off.”
    â€œMe too, so what are we doing today?” Sarah asked Trevor. He opened a taxi door for her to climb in.
    â€œI thought I would keep it a surprise.” Trevor winked at her, leaned forward and told the driver, “Penrose Amusement Park, please.”
    Sarah giggled and grabbed a hold of his hand.
    â€œOh, I can’t wait to find out where we are going, I can only imagine,” she sarcastically said. Trevor now chuckled and leaned back in the seat with his arm around her. He fell for Sarah faster and faster every day. This scared him to death, because he didn’t know how she felt. She might think they were casually dating, and end things before they got started. He shook the thought from his mind, it was paranoia talking.
    The afternoon was sweltering and heat radiating from the asphalt burned through Trevor’s shoes. The water park would have been a better idea and Trevor wanted to see Sarah in a swimsuit. He could just imagine it would fit her beautiful body perfectly. Sarah tugged on his arm and jerked his mind away from the daydream.
    â€œTrevor! Let’s go on that!” She pointed to the “High-rise of Terror.”
    Trevor loved to see her so excited. She was nearly out of breath as she dragged him into the long line of people. Not until they were securely harnessed into their seats and pulled up into the air, did Trevor realize why Sarah had been so anxious. She was not exactly delighted about the ride, but instead she was nervous and frightened. Her eyes were pinched closed and she gripped the metal bar until the whites of her knuckles showed.
    â€œSarah, babe, are you okay?” Trevor was amused, but didn’t show his emotions to her.
    â€œI don’t like heights,” she muttered.
    â€œI think closing your eyes will only make it worse.”
    â€œIt doesn’t though, I’ve done this before.”
    Trevor held back a snicker of astonishment. He wondered what kind of morbid person he was dating. He couldn’t imagine doing something he was terrified of, just for … well, he couldn’t figure out why. Suddenly the ride plummeted to the ground. Trevor saw the scenery of the city disappear and the ground grow larger. People who were only the size of ants moments before grew until their sunburned faces smiled up at him. This was a thrill for Trevor. He
