Excerpt
“Dr. Parker? Your four o’clock
appointment is here.” Sheila’s announcement made me jump and when I looked at
the clock, I realized how much time had passed while I was deep in thought. This
was the last appointment of the week,and I was ready for a couple of days off
to unwind.
I shuffled the papers on my desk
and found the new patient file I’d been reading when Sheila called. The file
included official documents from police department internal affairs for a
psychological evaluation. I’ve seen several of these orders over the years.
It’s protocol whenever an active officer is wounded in the line of duty and is
required before they’re allowed to return to work. I reached for the folder and
pressed the intercom button.“Sheila, please send him in as soon as he’s filled
out the insurance paperwork. Thank you.”
Sheila knew to give me a few extra
minutes to allow time to limp to the conversation area to set the stage and sit
in my customary spot. I preferred not to begin sessions with the inevitable
questions about my own disability. The people who came to see me were in need
of my expertise and compassion. It was all about their healing, not mine.
The name on the file folder, J. McKenna,gave
me a chill. He was wounded in the line of duty, shot by a bank robbery suspect.
Seeing the name reminded me of where I came from and why I was in hiding. I
pushed the memories down. I’m not that
person anymore. That person doesn’t exist.It wasn’t necessary to touch the
locket underneath my sweater as a reminder, but it had become a nervous habit.
The locket was the only thing I kept from that life.
The door opened,and Sheila showed
my patient in and asmy eyes met his, my heart stopped for what seemed like
hours. After reading the file, I was afraid of this. How many Jackson McKennas
could there be? The hair is shorter, and
the face is older, but it’s him, I would know those eyes anywhere. Jackson
McKenna.He was my first love and indirectly the reason I have to use a cane
to walk farther than across the room.
I cleared my throat and stood,
reaching out to shake his hand as I would with any new patient, hoping he didn’t
recognize me.
“I’m Dr. Parker. Please make
yourself comfortable, Officer McKenna,and we can get started.”
When I realized his right arm was
in a sling, I dropped mine back to my side. I picked up my notepad and pen,
hoping he didn’t see the way my hands were shaking.
“It’s actually Detective, not
Officer.”
He sat on the couch across from me
and looked at me with those hazel eyes that have haunted my dreams for ten
years, and then he shook his head.
“You remind me of someone I used to
know a long time ago.”
