Nina “I’m ready to cooperate with my treatment.” A smile spread across Edward’s face at my words. “I’m so glad, Nina,” he said, giving my hand a squeeze. “Shall we begin?” I nodded. “Repeat after me…” … Over the course of the next several treatment sessions, Edward’s treatment began to work. S
Nina While I slept, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that I was walking through the forest just outside of campus. I recognized where I was, and I knew the path well as I walked. Up ahead, I could make out the clearing where I had last kissed Justin on the night that I discovered that he was a rog
