"I'm not saying wait for the memories to fade, I'm just saying you need to allow it to happen, instead of forcing it back down!" Exasperated, she continued. "The mroe you ignore it, the longer it remains a problem!"

Until I know I can be of some help to you, you owe me nothing." Sadly, she watched him go, knowing it was the beginning of things if he didn't face up to it.
