Karina questioned herself. "What am I even thinking? Dr. Wilfred has been so kind to me. What does his personal life have to do with me?"

For someone as emotionally oblivious as Karina, the realization hit her hard. She was acting out of character. The subtle closeness she had felt toward Wilfred, born of gratitude, now felt awkward and unwarranted. A pang of guilt surged through her, making her want to retreat entirely.

Even imagining the look of disdain that might cross Wilfred's face if he found out made her feel as though she were being ripped apart from the inside.
