Excerpt
“Dr.
Parker? Your four o’clock appointment is here.” Sheila’s announcement made me
jump and when I looked at the clock, I realized how much time had passed while
I was deep in thought. This was the last appointment of the week, and I was
ready for a couple of days off to unwind.
I
shuffled the papers on my desk and found the new patient file I’d been reading
when Sheila called. The file included official documents from police department
internal affairs for a psychological evaluation. I’ve seen several of these
orders over the years. It’s protocol whenever an active officer is wounded in
the line of duty and is required before they’re allowed to return to work. I reached
for the folder and pressed the intercom button. “Sheila, please send him in as
soon as he’s filled out the insurance paperwork. Thank you.”
Sheila
knew to give me a few extra minutes to allow time to limp to the conversation
area to set the stage and sit in my customary spot. I preferred not to begin
sessions with the inevitable questions about my own disability. The people who
came to see me were in need of my expertise and compassion. It was all about
their healing, not mine.
The
name on the file folder, J. McKenna, gave me a chill. He was wounded in the
line of duty, shot by a bank robbery suspect. Seeing the name reminded me of
where I came from and why I was in hiding. I pushed the memories down. I’m not that person anymore. That person
doesn’t exist. It wasn’t necessary to touch the locket underneath my
sweater as a reminder, but it had become a nervous habit. The locket was the
only thing I kept from that life.
The
door opened, and Sheila showed my patient in and as my eyes met his, my heart
stopped for what seemed like hours. After reading the file, I was afraid of
this. How many Jackson McKennas could there be? The hair is shorter, and the face is older, but it’s him, I would know
those eyes anywhere. Jackson McKenna. He was my first love and indirectly
the reason I have to use a cane to walk farther than across the room.
