Anjali set down her pen.
 
She leaned forward, her eyes kind.
 
"What you're describing is very common," she said.
 
"Girls raised in environments where sex is never discussed, where affection is rarely shown, where the body is treated as something shameful or mysterious, they grow up with a disconnect."
 
"They don't learn to trust their own bodies."
 
"And then, when they're expected to suddenly become sexual beings on their wedding night, their bodies rebel."
 
She paused.
 
"That's not your fault, Seema. That's not a flaw in you. It's a wound. And wounds can heal."
 
Seema felt tears prick her eyes.
 
She nodded.
 
"Now," Anjali said, her tone shifting slightly, becoming more clinical.
 
"I'd like to do a physical examination. Nothing invasive, just to make sure there's nothing physical going on. Is that all right?"
 
Seema hesitated.
 
Then she nodded.
 
Anjali led her to a small examination room behind a curtain.
 
There was a table in the corner, an examination chair, a tray of instruments.
 
She asked Seema to lie down on an examination table, and she checked her pulse, her blood pressure, her breathing.
 
She asked questions, about her menstrual cycle, about any pain, about any history of trauma or abuse.
 
Seema answered everything.
 
No trauma.
 
No abuse.
 
No pain.
 
Anjali made notes.
 
Then she asked Seema to sit up.
 
"I'd like to try something," she said.
 
"Just a relaxation exercise. Something I want you to practice at home."
 
She asked Seema to close her eyes.
 
To breathe deeply.
 
To focus on the sensations in her body, the weight of her limbs, the rhythm of her breath, the feel of the couch beneath her.
 
She asked her to imagine a safe place, somewhere she felt calm, protected, at peace.
 
Seema tried.
 
She really tried.
 
But all she could see was the hotel room.
 
The rose petals.
 
The look on Naveen's face when she had frozen.
 
"I can't," she whispered.
 
"That's all right," Anjali said.
 
"That's why we're here. To find the places where you get stuck."
 
She opened her eyes.
 
Anjali was watching her with an expression of infinite patience.
