Ryan went to bed shortly after Milly dialed Sophie and told her about his burst of anger. Not wanting to hear what she utters or how she informs Sophie, he sits in his bed but does not sleep. Hearing the verdict by being called into Sophie's office, his new therapist present, they agree that along with the medication, he should be required to attend at least one session with Dr. Keniba every month to check up on how he is dealing with life and the stresses of post prison adjustment. They're surprised that he has taken this long to come to them with a problem, even if it's minor, but both Dr. Keniba and Sophie believe that if they deal with it now, his issue won't worsen. Complying to this new pill, Ryan knows that every morning he will have to face the orange and white bottle laughing at his face every time he opens the cabinet to grab his toothpaste. At least he is relaxed knowing that Debby has warmed up to him even though he was his usual uncomfortable self the whole time.
The month passes and Ryan is working hard as a waiter for Phil's Diner, not wanting to screw this opportunity up as well. Popping a pill every morning, it will hopefully keep him relaxed during the day and even help him sleep at night if he is restless. But most of all, he is angry at the doctors and worried that these pills he is taking are a waste of his time and money. They don't make him feel any different, he still calms himself down using his own breathing methods as well as long walks. His second bottle is for emergencies and it's always in his pocket but he rarely takes them. Since Milly has access to the daily ones, he feels obligated to swallow them, knowing she will just tattle on him if the pill bottle is empty by the end of the month.
"Here you go, miss." The plate of eggs, toast, beans, and pancakes sliding in front of Milly as she sits at her usual barstool before going to work. Smiling at her amber eyes, Ryan seems to be in good spirits today, throwing the towel over his shoulder. "Just be careful, the plate is hot." Having to tend to other customers, he walks around the rectangular room, checking to see if everyone is enjoying their meals. Luckily, he finds smiles and compliments instead of glaring eyes and half eaten food. Having some time to talk with Milly this morning when she first walked in, they chatted about the forecast, her plans for today with work and what time he will be home. What he didn't ask is what she plans on doing when she gets home. "Do you need more coffee?" Ryan asks, coming back over, the smell of a freshly brewed pot dancing around him. "And also, Milly, what are your plans for tonight? I can meet you at your work once you finish. Perhaps we can take a walk around the park before heading home?" She must find it odd, he never asks such a thing but perhaps there is some thought burrowing into his mind, disrupting his daily schedule and it must be resolved.
