he silence in my office for about half an hour, gave me time to work through some files I had received of new incoming patients. The father and daughter who were not currently on speaking term sat across from me, in awkward silence. Finally, Gerald sent me the results on my computer and I looked through them.

"The results are here." I paused to check if i had their attention before continuing, "They found drugs in Valentina's system"

Valentina looked down. She had accepted her fate when she saw there was no escape. It was better for both of us.

"Okay. I will bring her bag with everything she needs" George cooperated.

"No need. Patients here get uniforms and necessities. You do not need to bring her anything." I placed my pen down "You can come for visits when informed to, that is the only time you are allowed to see the patient"

"What about my phone?" Valentina's soft small voice asked, she already knew  the answer to that question. I shook my head, no. The girl huffed looking down in defeat.

"Just sign these documents and everything will be ready. We will be responsible for Valentina for the next 12 weeks. If she is not better by then, 12 more weeks will be added" I pushed the papers forward and George did not take the time to read them, he just signed wherever his signature was required then pushed then back to me.

George knew there was no hug coming his way when he signed the papers. He left with a soft goodbye and a thank you for the favor. As much as I disliked the man, I understood how he felt. He had failed as a father.

"Let me show you where you will be staying. Are you affected by space differences?" I inquired while leading the way.

"Yes, i'm claustrophobic" Valentina muttered, her voice still small.

"Ok. How old are you?"

"I recently turned 18"

"Okay." I was not going to have a conversation with a high teenager so I stayed quiet for the rest of our walk to her new designated room.

"Here we are" I opened the door finding Marilyn still inside. She had just finished putting all the necessities in their places. The room was bigger since I noticed Valentina struggled under small spaces. It had Grey and white walls. A single against the wall with white sheets and a pillow. There was a small table with a drawer where her uniform had been folded neatly, along with her towel, new pairs of white cotton underwear and all her necessities.

Nothing sharp.

"Marilyn will handle the body search and she will be taking your clothes and everything you came with. You will take a shower right after and get some rest. She will give you your schedule and explain to you how things work around here. Do you have any questions before I leave?" I asked the young girl, she looked lost and confused altogether.

"No" Valentina shook her head, avoiding my eyes.

"Okay good. I will see you tomorrow"

I stepped out of the room, leaving her with my assistant. Alone in the elevator, I thought about everything concerning the girl. My biggest concern was her suicidal problem. Did she want to be saved?. How long before she tried to take away her life, again?. I was not a God, I could only do so much for the patient. The rest was all up to her.

I went back to my work settling back in my routine for the rest of my office hours. I left work on time, having had all my work done. When I reached home, I took a hot bath and settled on a new book. Reading dark romance books, gave me some sort of insight in how the dating world worked.
