CLARKE POV
I was talking to Dr. Griffin when she keeps calling me Clarke. My head is hurting from all the emotion we're talking about.

Dr. Griffin: What are you talking about, Clarke? Don't you remember who I am?

I pause for a while. Stopping my tears from falling down.

Dr. Griffin: Clarke, tell me.

I stood up mad.

Me: I said my name is not Clarke! My name is Alexís Dubois. So stop calling me Clarke.

I was already sobbing. As I was about to leave, Dr. Griffin pulled me into a hug. I let myself breakdown.

Dr. Griffin: There, there, Alexís. It's okay.

We stayed there for a while. When I calmed down, I pull away from the hug.

Me: Merci, Dr. Griffin. (thank you) I should go

Dr. Griffin: Clarke, wait. I mean, Alexís. Please don't leave. I just got you back. How can I reach you? Maybe we can talk about this? And pls, call me Abby.

I think about it for a second. She's right. We need to talk about this. I nod and give her my card with my number on it. She gives me a smile and I smile back, then left.

I went back to the hotel and took a shower. This day is exhausting. I can't imagine how tiring it will be when I tell them my story.

It's been 2 days and I have decided that Abby and I should talk. She texted me she's free today and I meet her at the address she sent me. I made my way there.

As I arrive at the address, it was a house. Strangely it feels nice being here. I rang the doorbell and I was greeted by Abby and a man behind him.

Abby: Alexís, sweetheart. Please come in.

Me: I didn't know we had company.

Abby: This is Marcus. My husband.

Marcus comes near me and shakes my hand.

Marcus: Hello, Clarke.- Alexís. I'm Marcus, Marcus Kane.

Me: Kane?

I look at Abby and she just chuckles at me as we sit at the living room

Abby: Yes I am now Dr. Kane. Marcus and I got married 2 years ago. So for a long time I was Dr. Griffin.

I nod at them. Marcus then comes back from the kitchen with food.

Me: So, I think we have to talk?

Abby: Yes we do, sweetie. But whenever you're ready. You being here is more than enough for us.
