across from her. She was a bit on the thin side with
long, brown hair and deep brown eyes, but she was pretty enough. At
the moment, she was fidgeting without seeming to notice it. To
Dreama, this was a sign of lying.
    "Allison, do you understand why you've been
court-ordered to see me?" Dreama asked.
    "Of course, I understand why the judge thought I might need some therapy
sessions, but I promise you that
it is all a misunderstanding!" Allison replied with her voice
squeaking into higher levels at certain points.
    "Why don't you tell me why the judge feels that
you need to see me, Allison?"
    "Well, because Daniel said that I was stalking him, of all things! But I
wasn't stalking him. We just happen to eat and shop or whatever at
the same places. Just because we aren't together just now shouldn't
mean that I have change my favorite places."
    "Allison, how long have you and Daniel been
apart?"
    "Well, about six months ago, he said that we
needed to take a break, but he's going to come back to me."
    Repressing a sigh, Dreama made a few notes and
then looked back at her patient.
    "Allison, I was under the impression that Daniel
and his wife had reunited. Is that correct?"
    "Oh that's just what she says! You see, Daniel just had to pretend to go back to her, don't you see? He's just
waiting for the right time before he comes back to me."
    "Allison, let me explain to you what I've been
told and then we can discuss it together," Dreama said.
    Then she read all of the facts regarding her
patient.
    Allison Gardner and Daniel Bradley had begun an
affair over a year ago. Approximately, six months previously,
Allison had begun to demand that Daniel leave his wife and commit
to Allison. Daniel refused and, instead, left Allison after
deciding to give his marriage another try.
    That was when all of the trouble began.
    Allison simply could not, or would not, accept
that Daniel was no longer a part of her life. She began to stalk
him, although she adamantly refused to admit that it was anything
more than just running into him when they were both out dining or
shopping. Of course it also made perfect sense to Allison that they
would run into each other at such places as the public library,
coffee shop, diner at lunch, and even the car wash. They simply
must have maintained the exact same schedule for these things.
    There might not have been any action that Daniel
could take if she had just kept to these places where anyone had a
right to be no matter who else may have been there.
    However, Allison branched out to parking down
the street from Daniel's house.
    She also took to following Daniel's wife all
over the place and gave her threatening glares. These instances
increased by leaps and bounds, but they still had not reached the
point where any legal action could be taken.
    That all changed one night, when Allison broke
into Daniel's house while they were out.
    She went into the master bedroom and
meticulously cut all his wife's clothing items into ribbons with a
pair of scissors. Then she left all of the evidence strewn across
the, bed as well as the floor and dresser. Next, she poured bleach
all over Daniel's clothes, leaving white discoloration
everywhere.
    Once she had left as much damage as possible,
she went back outside to her car, which she had left parked a few
houses down. In fact, she had not even attempted to hide. She had
waited until Daniel and his wife returned home so she could witness
their reaction to what she had done.
    This meant that she was still watching when the
police arrived to investigate. This made it so much easier for them
to arrest her for breaking and entering, plus malicious
vandalism.
    Since Allison had a clean record with not even a
parking ticket in her past, she was let off easy as long as she
attended regular therapy sessions with a psychiatrist. Dreama
offered to take a few court-ordered cases each month, depending on
her caseload. She just happened to have a few vacancies at the
moment so she had
