something missing..(G!p X Girl)

21. a little assignment.

inside sol office...

once they settled into their usual positions on the sofa, Sol began to speak. 

"So, I thought that it would be a good idea for us to make this one a working session."

When becky and freen gave sol matching looks of puzzlement, Sol grinned at them.

"I have a little assignment for the both of you to complete tonight, and then we're going to talk about it."

"Okay," becky shrugged.

"Sure," freen said, still confused. 

The therapist reached into her worn and battered black leather messenger bag, pulling out two legal-sized pads and two pens, leaning over to hand them to becky and freen. 

"I would like each of you to make a list, and I want you to take your time doing so. Think long and hard about this, because it's important. With me so far?"

They both nodded.

"Great. Because the list is going to be the five things you'd like to change about your wife."

becky was the first to speak. "Change?"

"Yes. The five things that you wish could be different about freen, and the five things that she wishes could be different about you. And when you've made your list, rank the items in order from least bothersome to most irritating...
N

o rushing, either. I want you to take as much time as you need....We definitely won't have enough time to discuss all of the items on your lists in depth tonight, but they'll act as a road map for future sessions.

What I don't want is for either of you to hold back for fear of offending each other, because covering up or holding out on your feelings would just be a waste of our time....and you know how I feel about wasting our time."

becky and freen both chuckled.

"When should we start?" freen asked. 

Sol leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms over her chest. "Now."

For the first two full minutes, freen just stared down at her blank pad, aware of the sound of becky pen scratching against her paper.  

Interesting how she's having no trouble putting together her list...
freen inner voice whispered bitterly.  Gathering her thoughts, she began to write. 

When she put down her pen approximately ten minutes later, freen looked up to find that becky had already finished her list.

"Great. Hand back the pens and show me your lists?"

becky and freen complied with sol request and were both surprised when Sol began to grin as she read what they'd written then she passed the pieces of paper back to them and sat back in her chair. 
"So, who wants to go first?"
