Chapter 1: Introduction
A subtle fragrance of lavender greeted James as he walked into Dr. Sarah Johnson's office. Sunlight streamed in through the open blinds, casting an exquisite golden glow on the polished wood floors and contemporary furniture. High ceilings accentuated the feeling of open space.
Sarah, a stunningly attractive psychologist in her late thirties, raised her gaze from the manila folder on her lap. She had long blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and an athletic figure. She was confidence and intelligence personified.
"James, welcome.
Have a seat," Sarah's voice sliced through the silence, warm and inviting. Her eyes held a genuine smile.
He shifted nervously on his feet, scuffed brown shoes squeaking against the gleaming wooden floor. James stole a glance around the room; it was spacious and impeccably decorated. The minimalist vibe reflected Sarah's professional, straightforward attitude. After a moment more of hesitation, he finally acquiesced, parking himself on the plush leather chair.
