I guess that Paula, my counsellor, had decided that I had been trapped in her fishnet tights for too long. I had outgrown the Doc Marten boots and exercise colouring books. And when I peered through the window, i saw her sitting across from a girl around my own age. They were doing a colouring exercise and I wondered, did I pass the disease down onto her? Is that how it works, am I cured?
