This is common for people who have had relatively lonely lives. They want love in any form they can get it and so when it comes knocking they immediately answer. Casey wanted Klaire because she loved him. Because she wanted him and he liked that she wanted him. But over time it became too much and he couldn't handle it and had thoughts of breaking it off. But not wanting to be alone, he tried to fix her. He didn't want to leave her.Casey is confused by what she says. He is denying everything but Ava can see it. She is confused as to why he did try to break up with her before when Klaire slapped her. He said that at that point he really was only thinking of getting away from her. He said that Klaire was suffocating and in that moment he was so angry that he didn't think ahead. But when she threatened to kill herself, he stayed with her.He tells her that he began to see all of her flaws as time passed and by the time of the wedding he was way past sick of her, but he did not want to b
The sound of heels against the marble floor made Casey turn around. He knew who it was but he still looked to see her. The door opened, and in walked Klaire, bounding towards him. Finishing styling his hair back he turned to greet her with a smile."Are you ready to go?" he took in her appearance which answered his question. Her long blond hair was tied back. She wore a black maxi dress and some black heels accompanied by a black shoulder bag.She rested her hand on her hip, a pout forming on her face. "I really don't see why we have to go. Our relationship is perfect. And this diamond ring is proof of that."Klaire held up her hand and looked at the ring lovingly. It was a twenty-carat diamond ring and gleamed even in the dimmest rooms. Casey took her hand and rubbed his finger just below the ring."We are not perfect. Far from it. But we will be better if we do this. Don't you want to marry me?" he pulled her into a hug.Her sweet fruity scent wa
Ava paused. "Me? Why?"She rested the pad on her lap and looked at Klaire with scrunched eyebrows. Casey knew that she probably felt threatened by her and therefore wanted the satisfaction of grilling the poor woman."It's nothing important. I think we should just continue on with the session," he said, hoping that Klaire would take a hint by the tone of his voice.But of course, she ignored him and opened her mouth. "I think that we should know a little about our consultant before she knows anything about us."Ava chuckled a bit. "Well everything you want to know about me is on the internet but sure, ask me anything. If that makes you feel more comfortable then I will happily oblige."Satisfied, Klaire turned up her nose and sat straighter. "Why did you become a therapist, psychologist, whatever you are?""I studied psychology and human relationships when I was in college so that I could mend my parents' relationship. It worked so I wanted
Ava had seen this type of behavior before. In many of her patients. They would be obsessed with their partner, due to trauma that had happened in the past, and in the end, the relationship would be ruined if the person did not get the correct therapy to help themselves.After she had popped the question they both got quiet and then Klaire demanded that Casey answer her, but he didn't say anything. She told Klaire that it was ok for him to be hesitant because he would want to spare her feelings if it were something serious like that but she continued to flip out.It was not her first time dealing with people like Klaire. She was someone who had little regard for others but made her partner a huge priority. She was extremely jealous and obsessive and it seemed like when she saw Ava, she became defensive. It took her only a couple of minutes to determine that she would be an extremely difficult person to deal with.Since the session seemed to take a turn Ava tried
After a long day, the paparazzi was the last thing she wanted to deal with. Her words came out before she could think but Ava really didn't care. After they paused for a second, she made her great escape and pushed through the crowd to get to the door of her apartment. The guards by the door came to her rescue and prevented them from getting inside the building."Thanks," she said to them and walked away to the elevator.Her apartment required a special key card to activate the elevator and so she pulled that out of her purse and tapped it against the button before pressing the up button.Ava looked back at the doors and saw the paparazzi was finally leaving. If there was something she could do about the paparazzi was make them illegal. She didn't understand their deal and why they wer
Casey chuckled as he looked at his phone. There were pictures of Ava running down the sidewalk barefoot while shouting at some lady. She looked panicked and her arm was raised as she yelled with her hair flying behind her. He wondered what had happened that lead to this."What are you laughing about?" Klaire asked.She was laying next to him on the bed. Since they had gotten into the fight they had not really been speaking alot. Although he did have a problem with her he refused to tell her to avoid an even bigger problem. He knew that it was not healthy to have that kind of behavior and it probably meant that the relationship they have is not the best but he did not want to have to cross that bridge yet.And when Ava asked the question Klaire was also silent but she didn't say that sh
There was silence.Ava's head whipped to the side and her eyes widened. Klaire, even shocked by her actions covered her mouth with her hands, seeming to not believe what she had just done. Casey collected himself after a few seconds and immediately pulled away from Klaire."Ava, Ms. Maddison, are you ok? I am so sorry. Are you ok?" he said frantically and bent down to see her face.A bright pink mark appeared on her cheek after a couple of seconds and when he saw her face he could not help but be puzzled. She looked somber. Ava shook her head a couple of times and then turned back and faced Klaire. And when she turned back there was a deep glare on her face."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Klaire said softly while shaking her hands.
As soon as the door closed and Klaire and Casey left, Ava leaned forwards against her desk. Her hands digging into the edge of the table. Tears escaped her eyes and rolled her the bruise, making her even more aware of it. In all of her years of dealing with difficult people, never in her life had she been disrespected like this.To be humiliated like this in her own workplace. How could she ever live this down? Luckily it was a private affair but who knew what Klaire would do when they left. She could go to the internet and shame her and tell everyone about the incident.A small sob escaped her mouth and her hands shook, her tears splashed on the top of the desk. The silence of the toom mocked her as the scene replayed in her head over and over again. She knew that she should have not taken them as clients. All people like that do is br
