I offered a smile, "A friend in France recommended a psychologist, and I've been working with them for the past couple of years. It's been pretty effective."

I smiled, "Sure, let's do the puzzle together." The design process for Bella's gown was surprisingly smooth; we weren't in a hurry. Somehow, thinking of designing for her sparked a lot of inspiration in me. Can't quite put my finger on why.
