5. She doesn’t pick it up and the conversation moves on

Mika gives you an odd look. “I mean I guess I could insist on better aftercare.”

You pause for a moment. “Yes. Exactly.”

The conversation moves on and you have to cross your legs to hide your growing erection. You’ve apparently gotten used to getting your own release regularly today. And besides, Mika can’t stop talking about her sex life.

When the hour is up, she smiles and thanks you for a good session. You usher her out and you see her glance toward your crotch and a soft smile plays across her face. You know she knows what you were actually suggesting and chose not to pick it up. In a way you suppose that’s growth. But you wish she hadn’t chosen that moment to grow.

You look out into your office to see your final patient of the day.
