He has to tell her

"I think you should tell her, yes." Dr. Vierre said. "I'd like her to be able to remind you, and keep you honest about it."

They talked for a little longer, and then Jack went home. Charlotte was waiting for him.

"So?" she asked, "How did it go?"

He shrugged, before admitting "Pretty good, actually. I was expecting to hate it, but she seemed okay."

"Oh, it was a woman? Was she attractive?"

"Yeah, she was pretty hot."

"Great." Charlotte said coldly, "And what did she say about your actual problems, Jack?"

"Oh." He scratched his neck. "Well, she said that she wanted me to try something. She thinks it will help if whenever you hug me I say that, uh, that I, well, love you."

Charlotte blinked. Then she shrugged. "Alright, let's try it." she walked up to him, and hugged him.

He felt the familiar pleasant warmth of her body, and after a moment of embarrassment said "I love you."

She stepped back and looked at him. "Alright, I think this might be good." she said.

A week later, Jack had his second session.

After some chatting about things, Dr. Vierre asked the important question. "So, have you been following my advice about telling Charlotte you love her whenever she hugs you?"

"Yeah."

"And how has it been working?" Dr. Vierre prompted.

"Well..." he hesitated, but told her. "Things were fine at first, but after a while, she started being a little... weird."

"Oh? How do you mean, weird?"
