Chapter 317

• Regrettably the weekend with the kids ends, and it's back to the usual mundane routine of endless lectures and long nights of study. Rhode has been incredible throughout, always making sure I don't spend too long agonising over papers or staying up too late working on assignments. I haven't had anymore panic attacks and I'm feeling more in control this week than I did last week.
• I arrive at our regular spot on one of the picnic tables outside of the library for this weeks team meeting. We agreed that while meeting in the library was good, we would be able to talk louder and more productively outside and at the same time soak up as much sunshine as we could until the summertime was truly over. Gina, Matt and Jess were already sitting down and getting set up.
• "Toby text me, he's a few minutes late" Gina informs me as I reach the table and greet everyone with a quiet hello. Matt moves his backpack off of the bench beside him and I slide into the seat and start to take out my laptop.
