A woman in her 30's entered the room.
Catherine drops her gaze.
The woman walked to the bed's side. "Catherine, wake up now. Enough of your afternoon nap. Agnes the Psychotherapist will arrive in ten minutes for your therapy session," said the woman softly.
Catherine slowly opened her eyes looking at the door.
Minerva looked at her.
"I wonder if the time will ever come that you will finally talk. It's been five months already and you never utter a single word until now. You have been giving your therapist a hard time. Sometimes she doesn't know what to do with you anymore. She wanted to help you regain your speech, but you are not being cooperative, you shut her out, you shut everyone out," murmured Minerva.
Unknown to Minerva, Catherine was listening to her every word.
So, she muted herself for the last six months while she was living in her imaginary world? How did she survived not talking to anyone? Weird!
