Danny

"Mr. Esposito?"

I looked up and saw a woman in her forties standing in the waiting room with a notebook in her hand. "Ms. Forest is ready for you."

Nodding, I stood up and followed the woman to a large office where I noticed another woman sitting at a desk.

She looked at me and smiled. "You must be Danny?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"I am Kathrine Forest, but you can just call me Kathrine."

The flirty grin on her face could not make it more obvious that she wanted to make a sexual advance towards me. "Nice to meet you, Kathrine."

"So, what are you here for?"

"I have an infidelity issue."

"How long has this been going on?"

"Many years."

"When did it first start?"

"After I married my first wife, I met someone I worked with, and we had a side fling until I realized she just happened to be my ex-wife's younger sister."

Kathrine raised her eyebrows. "Very interesting."

"After she found out, we got married and had our son until I found myself being unfaithful again because I cheated on her with her best friend and got engaged to her."

"Seems like you have a pretty big history of doing that."

"I'm not proud of it. I promised her I would change, but after we made up and got married again, I turned around and left my family after I had gotten her pregnant again."

"What happened?"

"I woke up one night and left a note on our nightstand, not explaining why I was leaving and..."

I felt myself getting worked up, but I had to push the sad thoughts out of my head or try to anyway. "You seem like you're pretty worked up over it."

"I am. I hurt her, and I still love her, but I feel she won't ever give me another chance."

Kathrine slowly moved her chair closer to mine and placed her hand on my thigh. "I'll help you."

I looked at her hand and placed it back on her lap. "Umm... You should not do that."

She smirked. "No one will find out, Mr. Esposito. I promise."

Once she tried it again, I shook my head and stood up. "This session is over."

Her face softened. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have. I was not thinking at all.

Please stay, I can help you."

"How do I know that?"

"I crossed a boundary I shouldn't have. I just felt you are attractive, and..." She shook her head. "N-never mind. Please take a seat, I promise I won't do it again."

"If you try to lay a hand on me again, I will report you."

"I apologize. So, the first step for you is to analyze your true feelings for your ex-wife and think about the pros and cons of your overall relationship, including the consequences."

"I know that she said that she would give me a second chance but if I messed up again, we would be completely over, and I really do not want that."

"I can sense that you care, Mr. Esposito."

"Very much."

"Well, you need to figure it out yourself and go from there."

"Thank you."

The only thing I could hope for was my success of figuring myself out, slowly mending my relationship with Valentina and being able to rekindle our family.
