A relapse is Candace nickname for a PTSD episode; the clinical name being, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Just saying the full name in her mind annoys hers. Although she was diagnosed with PTSD nine years ago, Candace still has a hard time believing she has it. It took a long time for her to initially recognize she had a problem and even longer for her to seek help with it. Once she left New York she stopped going to therapy, figuring since there is no cure and she would be stuck with PTSD for the rest of her life, why waste time and money talking to someone about it?

Having had three relapses in the last two years, Candace figures she is doing find without help. Thinking back, she remembers the last relapse she had was during a fight she had with Yolanda at Drakes party. That relapse was very embarrassing because it happened in front of Mikela, which resulted in Candace having to tell Mikela about her PTSD; something that she tried to avoid doing at all cost.

Mikela.

Just the thought of her makes Candace ache. The look on her face when Tina blurted out that Bette confessed is etched permanently in Candaces memory. Knowing that more of that same look awaits her at home if Mikela is still there, just makes Candace want to stay away. Still, she knows that no matter what awaits her, she has got to go home and face Mikela. Candace has no idea what she is going to say or do once she is home, but stands up and starts walking back to the center to get her truck. The entire walk back to her car the phrase, Que Sera, Sera, keeps running through her head.

Mikela and Candaces home***

Candace arrives home and is somewhat relieved to see Mikelas Lexus parked in the garage. On the way to the house the thought hit her, What if Mikelas not there? Part of Candace wishes that Mikela was not here so she could avoid the inevitable a little while longer, but a larger part of her is glad Mikela is home. After entering the house she looks around and notices that the bedroom light is on. Candace calls out to Mikela but receives no answer, so she decides to walk towards the bedroom. She walks into it and sees Mikela opening drawers and removing clothes. On the bed, sits two suitcases, one is already full.
