Dr. Silvey,

I've cleaned out stacks of old journals and books. Want any?

Give me my cat back.

Comments

Laura's comment about full disclosure stung a little bit, but there was ice in Grant's voice when he spoke to Billy.

"You're going to leave now," he said. Almost as an afterthought, he turned to Ian. "Thank you for the cat."

Ian pulled his jaw up off the floor with difficulty. "Uhm. Sure. No problem. Anytime."

Then, to Billy, "Wow. You made me look good. Do you have any idea how tough that is? I may have to keep you around!"

Ian's comment was completely ignored. Billy had locked eyes with Grant, and he was standing his ground. "So while she's been telling you her sob story, how much disclosure did you give her, huh? I'm tired of being your dirty little secret. It doesn't matter if people know here."

"I'm fairly sure he's told me everything important," Laura volunteered to no one in particular.

For a long second, he just stood still. Then Grant pressed his lips together and readjusted his hat again. "Would you like to add anything else, or are you done now?" he asked Billy. It almost sounded as if they were talking about something boring, like the weather. Only his face gave him away. It was completely set in stone.
