Summary
Dr. Harry Buono was one of the best psychotherapists in the world.
While giving a lecture abroad, he met a patient unlike any other: Zoe, a woman suffering from emotional alexithymia, the inability to perceive or express emotion.
The case fascinated Harry. He brought her back to the States, keeping her close for intensive therapy.
As his wife, I felt a small, sharp knot of jealousy.
Harry, ever perceptive, noticed my unease. He’d wrap an arm around me, his voice a low, reassuring murmur.
"She's just a patient, Chelsea. I promise. The moment she's better, she's on a plane back home."
