Shrink

Buck was eager to see Jackie again. He was a little surprised at this desire, because he never expected to be so attracted to a woman who was a car thief, and one who began drinking in downtown bars well before noon. He certainly never expected to be attracted to a woman whose profession was “getting inside” the heads of others.

Buck knew therapy was a strange practice, even stranger than auto theft. But that didn’t matter now; he wanted to see Jackie one more time. Even if she were a “shrink.”
