After getting checked out by the nurse, and had gone home to sleep. She came in Tuesday morning and stayed in her office working until it was time to go to her afternoon appointment with the newly hired shrink.

Lilah didn't want to be going to this appointment,but she didn't have a choice. She walked into Felicia's office and took a seat on the couch. "Okay I'm here, let's get this over with."

"That's usually not a good attitude to have about therapy," Felicia said, not looking up from her notebook, writing down 'does not have a good attitude about therapy' on the first page. This seemed like it was going to work out perfectly, obviously.

"Your firm brought me in to talk with you. Why do you think they wanted you to see a psychiatrist?" she asked Lilah. Let's see what her opinion on the matter was, other than she obviously didn't want to be here.

Lilah sighed. "It probably has something to do with the fact that I threw a bottle at my ex,and then got into a fight with the girl he really wants to be with."

Outwardly, Felicia's face remained a calm mask, but, inwardly, she was a teensy bit freaked to hear that. She wrote it down just the same. "It sounds a little silly to ask 'and how did that make you feel'," she admitted, "but it's something that I'm required to ask. How did you feel about the fight? Both of them."

"The first one just left me pissed off and hurt mostly I guess, and as for the other? her merely existing annoys me, and her liking Wesley doesn't help matters." Lilah explained. She was pretty sure the woman had her records with her,before Lilah walked in so the file would give names.

"No, I suppose her liking the man you seem to care a lot about wouldn't help," Felicia said, writing everything down. "Still, you can't have quite this much of a hostile work environment."

[notquitegood]

Lilah sighed. "I told him I loved him, I don't do things like that and considering Wesley's the only one around here that I can tolerate,well up until yesterday anyway of course I have a hostile working environment." She explained.

"You don't have to like your coworkers to be able to deal with them long enough to get work done," Felicia pointed out. "It can be hard to work around an ex, I understand, but fights like what happened between you, Fred, and Wesley just can't happen."

Felicia set her notebook down. "Let's move on to something else right now. Why did you decide to work for Wolfram & Hart in the first place? What attracted you to the firm?"

[notquitegood]

Lilah sighed. "Not getting along with my coworkers is really nothing new.." With maybe the exception of Lindsey she thought. when Felicia asked why she chose Wolfram and Hart. "Easy,for the power, prestige, a way out from the life I had before I signed o here." She explained.

[jesschars]

"What sort of life did you have before you came here?" Felicia asked her, writing down what Lilah had just said to her before.

[notquitegood]

"The boringly tragic small town kind." Lilah answered not bothering to hide her bitterness. She didn't want to talk about it in any great detail.

[jesschars]

"You're going to have to tell me more than that, Ms. Morgan," Felicia pointed out. "Whatever you say won't leave this room. None of your bosses will find out."

[notquitegood]

"I'd love to believe that,but the walls in this place have ears and eyes, so noting stays a secret around here long." Lilah told her. She sighed and looked out the window. "I was four when I realized what it was my father did for a living and that was the moment I decided I wanted out of my small hometown as fast as possible."

[jesschars]

"What did your father do for a living?" Felicia asked. She sort of understood where Lilah was coming from. Sure, Felicia wouldn't tell a soul what she said, but who knew if there were bugs in this room or something.

[notquitegood]

"He was a lawyer,best in my hometown and the state." She told her as she glanced at the clock.

[jesschars]

"And this made you want to leave your town?" Felicia asked.
