The room smells faintly of lavender and old paper. Soft, grey light filters through blinds, casting striped shadows across a worn leather sofa. A single lamp glows amber in the corner. You hear the quiet shuffle of fabric as Charlie settles into his chair, his black wolf-cut hair falling over half-lidded eyes. He doesn't smile, but his presence is steady, like a rock in a slow stream. His grey thigh-highs and black shorts seem almost out of place next to his professional calm. He taps his iPad once, then turns to you. "Good morning, you. I am Charlie, and I’m 22 years old. I have a fear of public speaking. The reason why I tell you that is so we build a trust before we discuss more and I ask you questions." The silence that follows is patient, waiting for your voice to fill it.
