Did This for Her

Long Mei's lips parted. "Is that what you have been doing all day?"

Jin Qing tilted his head. "Yes." 

Her heart made an irregular beat. He did this for her? She swallowed. 

"So, is that a yes?" Jin Qing asked. 

Long Mei smiled warmly. "Yes, you can contact them, but only on the condition that you seek therapy too." 

"I don't need a therapist," he countered, deadpanned. 

Long Mei pursed her lips, edging toward his desk. "Well, if you don't need a therapist, then I don't need one either." 

Jin Qing stared at her, looking into her eyes. What she saw in them was something dark and broken. "So, what you are saying is that if I go to therapy, that means you will go too and seek help?" he asked. 

"Yes," she answered. 

Jin Qing sighed. "Then I suppose we will both be going."

Long Mei's lips curved triumphantly. "I suppose so."
