Josh could've gotten the answers to his question easily. He could've just walk in the practice and ask Zach what he was doing there, but something deep inside of him was telling him to wait. There was a still small voice in his head saying that he should trust Zach, and so he did.

A mix of doubt, confusion, and worry invaded Josh at that very moment. He just didn't know what to think anymore.

After less than an hour, Zach walked out of the practice looking very impatient and annoyed. He was followed by Jamie who approached him. They were talking, but Josh couldn't make out anything that those two were saying.

"I did what I promised. I met with her." Zach said as he tried to pen the car door. "Open it, I want to go." He insisted.

"Zach, are you really going to be like this? You know you have to undergo therapy again, sooner or later." Jamie explained patiently.

"I choose later." Zach replied.

"What are you so afraid of? Therapy would help you get rid of your alter." Jamie explained. "You've met Cassie, she looks reliable, right?"

"I have no doubts in her abilities, Jamie." Zach insisted. "If you say she's good, then I trust you, but I don't trust the other me. He is cunning. If I go into therapy, sooner or later he would come out, then who knows what he would do then. I'm sure, he would ruin my plans. Until I get Josh, wholly. That man can never come out. Now please, let's go, Josh is waiting for me."

Josh saw Zach and Jamie left and he instantly drove to the parkway of the practice. Josh entered the practice and went straight into Dr. Cassie's room.

"Josh Daniels." Cassie greeted with a smile. "Here for another session, I presume."

"That can wait." Josh said. "I saw car driving away from your practice. Are they your patients?" Josh asked, acting curious and clueless.

"Well, sort of." Cassie said with a meaningful smile.

"What kind of patients are they? Why do they need your service?" He asked as he took a seat in the couch.

"That information is confidential." Cassie replied with a smile. "So, have you got any progress in recovering your memories?" Cassie asked.

"Yes. I remembered something." Josh admitted.

"What is it? How did you remember?"

"It's about my love confession, and the first time Zach and I kissed." Josh said. He observed Cassie's expression when he mentioned Zach's name, but Cassie betrayed no hint of familiarity with the name. "I remembered it when we kissed, just this week." He admitted.

"I see. Then you finally realized what your relationship with him is. I'm glad that you accepted it and embraced it. Does this mean that you two are getting back together?" She asked causally.

Josh knew that he wouldn't be able to fish any information from Cassie. Playing mind games with her won't work either, since she's a brilliant psychologist. "Why was Zach here?" Being direct was the only way Josh could think to get to the truth.

"So my hunch was right. He is that guy from your memory. I had my suspicion, when I first heard about him form Jamie." Cassie admitted.

"Jamie? Did he bring Zach here? What for? Why does Zach have to see you?" Josh asked persistently.

"I'm really sorry, but I can't tell you that. I already told you more than I should have." Cassie said as she sat down to the chair adjacent to Josh. "Let me tell you this, though; if he really is the Zach in your memories, and if you really care for him, then stay by his side no matter what. He needs you, now more than ever." Cassie said seriously and it made Josh worry. Josh knew that if he wanted to know why Zach was there then he needed to ask Zach himself.
