Vanessa sighs. "I'm not familiar enough with vampires to give much advice here. We really need to work on our inter-species medical knowledge."
"It isn't just vampires, though. Lisa didn't like men being near her. That's probably a trauma response, don't you think?"
She pinches the bridge of her nose, and I realize her fingers seem swollen. The dark circles under her eyes are pronounced, and her dark hair—normally pulled back into a professional ponytail—is a mess. "Yes, I would assume so. I'm not a counselor, though. If it's that bad, she's going to need serious intervention with a professional." Her eyes dart toward me, as if underlining her suggestion.
She probably is. She's suggested the same for me on several occasions, and I keep blowing her off.
Therapy, Selene muses.
They both need it.
