"Richard" the woman said "does it help to have someone to talk to?"

Richie sighed, and frowned his eyebrows, not saying a word, he couldn't stop biting his nails.

"Richard, listen, I don't know what's happening to you and by doing that, I am failing in my job, which is to help you. Bur first... I need you to help me help you. Can you talk?"

He slowly lifted his head, looked at the woman, and nodded. "Yes" he mumbled.

"That's a start. Now, what's on your mind?"

"Confused... I'm confused, and... sad. I don't know, it's a mess."

"I know, Richard, what bothers you? Nightmares? Is it a person?"

Not a single answer. Richie looks at the woman, with his eyes full of tears.

"Don't you know what happened?"

The woman opens her mouth, about to say something, but hesitates it, she bites her lip and looks at Richie's file.

"TRAGEDY: Terrible Car Accident left two victims dead."

She frowns her eyebrows, and looks at Richie. The woman slowly nods.

"It's been days since they're gone, I-... it is- I don't want to go to adoption" He says, bursting into tears. "I don't want to forget them."

The woman gets up, gets closer to Richie and comforts him.

"Shh... I'm sorry boy, about this I'm afraid I can't do anything."

"Are you sure? Is there any... document or... I don't know, anything?"

The woman keeps quiet. She returns to her table.

"Your... *sighs* The time's up. I'll see you here tomorrow and if you need any help, you can call me..."

Richie gets up, cleans his face, and heads to the door.

"Richard..."

"Huh?" He turns to her.

"I'll try to help you with this... okay?"

"..." he grins and says "Okay... thanks, doc."
