"If you were given a magic wand and you could make your life anything you'd want it to be, what would it look like? What would you magically conjure up that you don't already have??" Jacob questioned Ryan in another counseling session.
Ryan initially didn't know how to respond. Realistically, he had most of what he wanted in life. What he felt was missing was the comfort, simplicity, attention and affection from a male presence.
"I cannot say what that would look like, what that absence is in my life." He lied. "Magic wand...? If I'd actually been confronted with an identifiable presence that hadn't been there before, I don't know if I could definitely define what that is..." More lies...
What a jumbled up mess of a response...!
Ryan's mind flashed back to the moments after he left Jacob's office and the tears that streamed down his face as he collapsed on the bathroom floor, powerless to hold back the emotions.
