The doctor paused.
"Has she been engaging in conversations? Going out? Doing anything she enjoys?"
I fell silent.
The truth was...
I didn't know.
I didn't really know what Alicia enjoyed. At that moment
guilt struck me really hard.
I didn't even know her preferences.
Though had I tried a few things in the last few days.
I had tried taking her out.
Suggested going for walks.
Asked if she wanted to watch movies.
Tried talking about the baby.
Tried talking about names.
But every conversation ended after a few words.
Every attempt felt like throwing a stone into a bottomless lake.
Except when she'd engage a little, if it was about the baby.
Eventually, I answered honestly.
"I've tried. She doesn't seem interested in anything."
The doctor sighed again.
"Then her emotional condition is worse than I thought."
After ending the call, I immediately contacted Jane and instructed her to find the best therapist available.
