    Benson waited until after two days before he called Anthony.He had given him the space he told Lucy about. Benson loves Lucy and Anthony but seeing them apart because of him haunts him.“Hi. Anthony.” Benson said. “It's me.” His voice was neutral.“Hi Dr. Benson.” Anthony said. “Good morning.”“Morning Anthony. I hope I'm not calling at a bad time?” Benson asked him.“No.” Anthony said. “I was thinking of coming to see you.” Anthony said.“Well then. Good timing.” They both laughed slightly to ease the tension on both sides.“Hey,” Benson said. “I'm not calling on behalf of your mother. This is me.

    Lucy and Benson sat together on the couch in the living room. The house felt different after Anthony left.“I feel like I'm a bad mother.” Lucy said.“Don't talk like that.” Benson said. “He probably wasn't expecting such.”“I have never seen him like this before. My son hates me.” Lucy said. Holding back her tears.“Anthony doesn't hate you. He loves you. He's just hurting.” Benson said quietly, adjusting himself to hold her.“I know.” Lucy sitting, turned in Benson's arm facing him. Not much inch apart from their faces.“And I can't fix it. I can't tell him why and I don't know what to do.” Lucy said.Benson looked away. He was quiet and thinking for a moment.“Maybe… I shouldn't have been here.” He said.Lucy frowned. “Don't say that.”“I mean today.
