She continued, “Of course, my therapist doesn’t know that today is not really one of the most anxiety-ridden days of my life, but it definitely is one of the most emotional days of my life and I am on the verge of panic and rage. Even though it doesn’t look like I am.”
Leviss smiled as she said, “But lucky enough for me, there is a codependency meeting happening at 1:00 so at least I have something before the reunion tonight.”
