Chapter 15

I refused to allow Dax to go back with me to my appointment. He was clearly shocked but sat back down without saying a word. But Dr. Wright was proud of my progress when we went through my journal entry and even told me I'd started to push through things after the muddled breakdown in the bathroom. I confessed my insecurities regarding Dax, and she discussed my relationship with me as my doctor. But when our time was up, she wanted to discuss something about Dax as his friend.

"Cam, that man loves you more deeply than I've ever seen him love, and I've watched him with his siblings, my children, girlfriends, parents, grandparents, friends...you name it, I've seen it. There is no one, not ever, who has held his heart the way you do. While you believe he needs to be careful with you-and I agree, he needs to tread lightly-sweetheart, make no mistake, you need to be careful with him as well. He hasn't loved since Jeremy died. This is the first time I've seen him whole in a lot of years."
