Tegan Adams
“DO you think this is what’s best?” Dr. Lynn asked. I could tell he was
doing that reverse psychology thing that he loved to use so much. Although
it has been proven useful in the past, it won’t work on me this time.
“I need to. For me, I have to leave,” I answered as I grabbed my purse
from the base of the couch.
“Your parents just died a few days ago, Tegan.”
“I know. I was there.” I stood and held out my hand to shake his for the
final time. There would be no returning to therapy. At least, not in Chicago.
He stood with me, his expression open and pleading. Somewhere in the
background, a clock dinged; our session had officially begun. But I only
came to say goodbye.
“Making rash decisions in the moment of grief is normal, but -”
“It’s not rash if I’m drowning. The only way to stop drowning is to get
out of the water, Dr. Lynn.” I dropped my hand and shouldered my purse.
“Goodbye.”
He rubbed his fingers over his goatee, and I don’t wait for any other
protests before I’m out the door.
“JESUS. SHIT,” I grumble as my car jostles me around, thanks to a
particularly nasty pothole.
This part of Utah is nearly abandoned. It’s in the middle of nowhere.
With a town of less than two thousand people, it sure feels like it anyway.
And with roads such as these – riddled with potholes and no visible center
and shoulder lines – it’s a miracle those two thousand people have stuck
around.
Maples and firs hug the road, and up ahead, above the tree line, I can
see the tips of subtle mountains. Thanks to summer, everything is lush
green, and the birds swoop across the road to nestle in branches on the other
side.
It’s a far cry from Chicago where the tallest thing in the city was a manmade building that always blotted out the sun. Here, I don’t even share the
road with anyone. The only shadows are from the trees and the puffy white
clouds that occasionally give a reprieve from the hot beams.
Still, even with the unfamiliarity, I’m glad Tori talked me into this.
Well, she didn’t need to do much convincing. When my parents died, I was
ready to leave. I had nothing left for me, and I wanted more than anything
to run away from the life I carried. Besides, I was a grown-ass woman. I
can run if I want to, despite Dr. Lynn’s warnings not to.
As soon as I see the mailbox with the faded address number I’ve been
searching for etched haphazardly on it, I turn into the gravel driveway,
relieved that I’ve finally made it to my destination. The driveway winds
around the trees, and just like the road, the gravel drive has seen better days.
Derek Wordon, the man whom I’m renting this property from, said that it
needed some work, but hopefully, the house is in better shape than the
driveway.
