I\u2019m so glad you decided to come back.\u201d The man extended his hand. \u201cDoctor Gordon Raine. You do remember me, don\u2019t you?\u201d Edyn shook the doctor\u2019s hand. \u201cOf course I do, Doctor\u2014\u201d \u201cPlease, just call me Raine,\u201d the doctor quickly interjected before guiding Edyn to his chair. \u201cYou remember that\u2019s what I go by here.\u201d Edyn took a deep breath and hesitantly sat in the chaise lounge chair nearby. This was the first time in two years he had been back to see his psychologist, and he was incredibly nervous.<\/p>\n

He had never been comfortable opening up about his issues and emotions to someone else, which was why he\u2019d stopped seeing Raine years ago in the first place, but he knew he needed to try something. Especially with what was happening to him lately. The room hadn\u2019t changed much since the last time Edyn had been there. It was small and comforting, with Raine\u2019s mahogany desk as the centerpiece, matching the surrounding wood-textured walls, and a small bookshelf to its right. The office had a colorful and lively look as Raine always made sure to have a few plants growing, one of which being the large fern next to Edyn\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n

Natural sunlight flooded the room through large windows that covered the upper half of the left wall facing Edyn. It didn\u2019t have the feeling of a doctor\u2019s office, and Edyn liked that. Raine took the chair to Edyn\u2019s right, as he often did with his patients. Sitting beside them, rather than behind his desk, made their sessions feel more personal and less intimidating. Now toward the twilight stages of his career, Raine captured the appearance of someone from another era. He was a traditionalist in every sense of the word\u2014never deviating too far from his usual collared shirt paired with dress slacks, with the occasional sweater vest overtop when he was feeling adventurous.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
