Orla re-read the owl with no small amount of surprise. This was a first. Usually she didn't make friends with people before they were patients. Still, she was more than willing to see what kind of help she could be for him.

Mr. Weasley,

Of course I remember you from both those occasions! I'm sorry to hear you've been having sleeping and memory difficulties. I would be happy to have a consultation with you, and see what kind of arrangement will suit you. I've got some time on Wednesday and Friday this week, or this weekend if you are ok with that. I'm never too busy to try and help a friend new friend, if I may be so bold as to call us that.

Sincerely,

Orla Quirke
certified therapist and counsellor
River and 6th St.

Orla,

Please call me Ron. No need to be so formal. When people say Mr Weasley, I still think they're talking to my dad. Actually we might want to talk about him at some point. He died during the war and he's turned up in some of my nightmares.

I could come by sometime on Wednesday or Friday. Actually maybe Wednesday is better. You can call me a friend if you want, and I'll do the same. Let me know what time and place.

Thanks,

Ron

Ron,

Informal it is. I apologize in advance if I forget. Old habits die hard.

I'll expect you Wednesday, shall we say, 4? I look forward to seeing you. I live in the same building in my practice, right across from River Place.

Sincerely,

Orla.

Orla,

I'll see you at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Thanks.

Ron
