Vernon drove to Shailene's apartment. He knocked, and Shailene opened the door for him.
She was wearing a casual loose shirt and tight jeans, very different from what he saw yesterday.
"Huh, you're far more casual today," Vernon commented without intention.
But Shailene didn't take this kindly, "Why not? You're not so formal with your messy suit as well. You looked like a middle-aged salaryman."
Vernon's brow twitched. He wanted to continue the banter by arguing with Shailene. But he really had no time for bickering. He wanted to get this over with, so he could get an answer on what he should do next to help Chloe.
"Okay, okay, can we just skip to this bickering part and get straight to the therapy?"
Shailene responded with a scoff. She turned around and told Vernon to follow her to the same private office she had.
