“Anyway.” The doctor said, snapping back into reality, “This is only the beginning of your story, I presume.. I only interupted for analysis. Please continue.”
Nathaniel nodded.
“Well, after that, I had several more relationships, each ending in the same way. The effect was still the same…”
“But?”
“But… something changed.”
The doctor leaned forward.
“What changed?”
“I met someone… different.”
The doctor raised his eyebrows.
“Different, you say?”
“Yea… I don’t know, there was just something about her.”
“Ah, another girl I see.”
Nathaniel sighed, shaking his head.
“Yes, another girl.”
“And what was so different about her?”
“She.. did things… said things, showed me things that were different from what anyone else had done.”
“Mhmmm, and did the pattern repeat itself when it ended?”
Nathaniel shook his head.
“No… it felt like half my heart was gone.”
“Only half?”
“Yes, the left side to be exact…”
The doctor furrowed his brow.
“Why the left?”
