I really liked this! It's fascinating to see their relationship from the point of view of an outsider; and I love that the tone is mostly matter-of-fact because the counselor is relatively uninvested, but that some of the melancholy and (this makes no sense, I think; bear with me) what I've always thought of as the smallness of their relationship bleeds through. (Their relationship always seemed like it was barely enough for either of them, I think is what I mean, and you've captured that sort of sadness/lack while capturing some sweetness, too.) Anyway, I'm done rambling now, promise. Lovely work. :)
