Then one day you meet her. You're bagging groceries, you have a flare-up of PTSD, you're in full-blown fetal panic attack at the checkout... And she has her hand on your shoulder and she's walking you through breathing techniques and telling you that you're safe and everything is going to be okay.

After your shift, she takes you for coffee, and she talks to you like you're a person - not like a broken piece of military tech. She doesn't ask you about your experiences or why you're panicking - she just talks to you about her art. She's a painter. She loves oil painting. It makes you smile.

After that there are more dates. More coffees. More time spent looking at her art. Less time spent talking about your past. And every now and then you feel your smile reaching your eyes. It almost feels too good to be true. You spend less and less time thinking about what came before.
