COHEN, Holden

"Hi Holden, this is Jenn from Dr. O'Connor's office. We're just checking in to reschedule for your missed appointment on October 22nd. I am here till five." I didn't miss it on purpose. I wasn't locked in on pills and I wasn't in the bathroom looking down a razor. I can see how it would look and I can hear your concern. The therapy has kept me in line for a couple of years now. Zadie used to have to pull me through those doors and for a long time it was silence. It became habit and then it was something that helped me feel human. I have a hard time with mortality. Laura dropped off Sophia last night. She'd made it across the city during rush hour to shove the kid at me. Needed a night, she said. The kid cried all night. Threw her dinner at me. Threw her breakfast at me. The appointment was at 11 and right about then I got a handful of applesauce in my hair. I couldn't make it. Laura's finally picked up Sophia. Three hours after she was supposed to and in the same clothes she was wearing. Anyway. Could we reschedule for Monday?
