Tired

The moment Lucy stepped into her bedroom, she collapsed on her bed and shut her eyes. She was exhausted. Perhaps it was because of the time she had spent in the company of her boss, or maybe she was just mentally exhausted after revisiting her past and sharing part of her experience with Tom. 

She needed to confront the past that she had tried so hard to keep locked up for years. She needed to face everything that had happened. That way she wouldn't have to faint or go into shock merely by thinking about it. Perhaps she should consider the doctor's suggestion and ask him to get her a psychotherapist? It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
