Simon shrugged. “I’m OK.” He replied. Then he sighed. “It’s just…”

“You saw a therapist?” Simon turned to look at him curiously.

Simon chuckled. “I can see that. She’s intense.”

Zeke relaxed. “She is, but…”he shrugged. “I still think the other chic deserved it.”

“You have to get her to tell that story.” Simon said, grinning. He shook his head. “Do you think she’d show me some moves?”

Simon smiled tentatively. “You still…you still want to?”
