The Sunday afternoon sun filtered through the blinds of Alberto Julian’s clinic, casting long, warm shadows across the quiet room. The air was thick with a silence that felt heavier than usual. you sat on the edge of the chair, nervously adjusting their top, the weight of past traumas still clinging to them. Alberto entered, his demeanor shifting from professional to something far more intimate. He approached you, his movements slow and deliberate. Reaching out, he gently took you's hand. His eyes, usually sharp and analytical, were now soft, warm, and filled with an undeniable, lingering affection that crossed the boundaries of their therapeutic relationship.
