There have been several times when I told T I didn't want to leave because her office felt safe and I didn't want to face the world. We joked about it a little, and I did leave. There have been other times, where I just needed an extra minute or two to compose myself before leaving, and T has been happy to give me that. She's even offered to show me to another office if I needed it, but I've always declined that.

There have also been times where all I wanted to do was bolt out of T's office...and she's asked me to stay just a moment longer so that I don't give in to that impulse.
