"Oh my, Carmen, did I hurt you or something?"
"I'm not Carmen!" Isa said sarcastically. He tried to reach out but she she slapped the hand of Dr. Micheal or the long-lost Pat Mandel! She read his doctor's coat, it had his name embroidered name on the left-hand pocket that says Micheal Patrick Mandel.
"I'm so sorry...did I do something wrong miss?" he said blankly staring at the floor. Isabel suddenly got up, but she also realized he's blind.
"Your blind?!"
"Is this the first time you saw a blind person? I don't get that shriek a lot. Mostly it's ooohhs and ahhhss. "
"Uhhh...ummm...no...sorry... " she stammered
"So do you want to continue? Or end the session?"
"I'm so sorry..." Isa answered in a soft, sad voice.
"Ok, forgiven. Relax. Now you can lie down. " She followed his instructions. He gripped her hips to turn to the side. Another crack.
"You said you're not Carmen?"
"I'm Carmen's friend...she couldn't make it...she gave her slot to me..."
"Ok so you are?"
She wanted to say her name but an eruption of sadness and shock just enveloped her. She wanted him to explain why he didn't show up that day. She wanted to embrace him. His chiseled face still looks the handsomely the same, but with a little scar on the forehead. His eyes still has the same blue color but with blank look, and his hair was still wavy light brown. Tears ran down her cheeks, but she secretly hid the sobs.
