Summary: He doesn't mean to go about it like this, like - well, like she would.
Author's Note: Part 7 of Therapy. I lied. Looks like there will be one more now. And then probably a sequel.

It takes the therapist all of a month to bring up Sam's mom. She says something about building up trust before touching on such a delicate situation. It takes Sam all of a second to say,

"I'm not talking about her."

"Why not?" The doctor asks, and credit goes to her for a blank expression, Sam's less likely to attack if she thinks you don't care.

"Why would I? This is supposed to be about us. She didn't have anything to do with me and Freddie."

He speaks before he even thinks about it, "Yes, she did!," and it earns him quite a confused look and a "What?" from her.

"She did. You came to... stay with me because she..." he trails off, not at all sure of himself.

Which is apparently the right thing to do, because she's shaking her head, "No. She kicked me out a week and a half before that. I didn't need a place to stay when I showed up at your apartment."

"What?" His turn to blink, surprised and more than a little befuddled.

"Yeah. She saw it coming, told me and Melanie she didn't want us there. Didn't want to scar us for life or anything," Sam snorted, "As if that hadn't already happened. Anyways, it wasn't a surprise."

He just keeps gaping, not unlike a fish, and Sam leans her chair back on two legs, "I never told you my mom was sometimes psychic?"
