*Two Weeks Before*

Louise had just finished her session with Cassandra when she heard a soft knock on her office door. Curiosity piqued, she stood up and opened the door to find a woman with fiery red hair and black sunglasses, a smile playing on her lips. Louise couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue and thought that she knew this is woman and also found it very peculiar that the woman wore sunglasses on such a cloudy day.

With a polite smile, Louise greeted her. "Yes, how can I help you?"

The woman's smile widened, and she replied, "The woman who just left your office..."

"Who? Cassandra?"

"I Know her by a different name." the woman said.

Louise's surprise was evident in her tone. "You know her?"

The woman chuckled softly. "We knew each other.  We were childhood friends, went to the same school."

Louise's interest deepened. "Why didn't you talk to her then?"

There was a momentary pause, and the woman hesitated before answering, "We had an unresolved fight, and I was afraid to approach her. Can you please tell me where she lives? I want to go there and apologize."

Louise pondered the request, realizing that this might be the first time someone from Cassandra's past was reaching out to reconnect. It seemed important, and Cassandra deserved a chance to reconcile with her friend. "I don't know her address, but I can give you her phone numb--"

The woman's voice interrupted, filled with reluctance. "No! Sorry, I can't talk to her on the phone. I want to see her in person first and explain. I know she wouldn't want to talk to me."

Louise fell into a brief silence.

The woman said "Nevermind, it was bad idea. Im sorry for distributing you!" and starts to walk away.

Contemplating the situation. Deep down, she felt a pang of empathy and understood the woman's perspective. After a moment, she made up her mind. "Hold on! I'll give you her address."

The woman turned back towards Louise,  "Thank you," she said with a smile.

As Louise retrieved a piece of paper and began writing down Cassandra's address, she couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. She felt what she is doing isn't right, she should not give her patient's information to a stranger but Cassandra is more than a patient and she always wanted her to reunite with her previous friends.
