"Am I supposed to believe this bullshit?" he said sitting behind his desk. I pulled out my cigarette pack and lit one.

"Well yes." he rolled his eye and watched me crossing my legs one over the other and puffing the white smoke away.

"I should put a no smoking sign in the door." I chuckled.

"Alright. Did you send all your stuff?" He said changing the topic.

"Yes. They're already there. My flight's in half an hour, I have to go." I made for the door before he spoke.

"Laines, healing is a choice. It won't happen until you decide you deserve to be happy." I let his words sink in before opening the door and leaving.
