Chapter 1

Daniel and Yaron were standing in a dark corner of a well-known hookup nightclub called ‘Lustful Desires’, trying to absorb the atmosphere of the place, meaning they were dateless and too shy to approach a girl. Their clothes and look were completely out of place. They stuck out like a couple of sore thumbs.

Yaron had a T-shirt with the words “Nerd Shrink” printed on the front. Believe it or not, he was a therapist, a great one actually, even when his methods were far from being orthodox. He got his Ph.D. in four years and earned a reputation working with married couples. He was also Daniel’s best friend.

“Thanks for coming with me,” Yaron said raising his voice. “I know you hate this kind of music.”

Daniel didn’t reply. He was tall and thin and was wearing sneakers, jeans, and an old T-shirt that read, “you read my shirt, that’s enough social interaction for the day” across the front. He didn’t like nightclubs, and he hated the music they were playing.

His freshly scrubbed hair was dark brown, and his glasses perched on the end of his nose. He looked more as if he were on his way to a chess club than in a nightclub. He was twenty-five, but he looked like someone who had refused to grow up.
