Once I reconnected with Bettie, I was in heaven. I’d never had a girlfriend like her and I was over the moon about it. That should have been enough. But it wasn’t.

Or was she just telling me what she thought I wanted to hear?

If that isn't a sign you need to make a change, I don't know what is. Too bad the change I get is six months in a remote French chateau, working as a nanny to an adorable little girl—who happens to be the daughter of the single dad I had sex with.

And when those objective criteria moved back into the normal range and the patient was feeling much better they were said to have returned to "health."
