And in the notes, I can see that on the 17th September 2019, Chloe's mental health nurse is off sick, and so Jennifer covers for her.
That seems to be their first meeting, and perhaps it's supposed to be a one-off.
But one week later, a letter is sent to Chloe's GP, which says that Jennifer is now Chloe's new counsellor, and it confirms their next two appointments.
And yet Chloe has an unusual surname, one her family believe Jennifer would have instantly recognised.
I've scoured the electoral register and there are very few people living in the town who share this Germanic surname.
If it rang any kind of bell for Jennifer and she wanted to double check whether Chloe was related to anyone she knew, she had only to look at Chloe's medical notes.
These notes tell a devastating story of her struggle with mental health, beginning with her self-harming at the age of 13.
When you turn 18, your folder goes with you from the youth service to the adult mental health team.
We've seen Chloe's folder.
Years of records and documents.
A tower of paper heavy enough that you need both hands to lift it.
Everything about her life, her struggles, her family.
It's all in there.
As the service manager, Jennifer would have seen this folder before she ever met Chloe.
And as her counsellor, she surely would have spent some time reading it.
Not just her father's surname, but his first name too, Lewis.
Is it possible that Jennifer had completely forgotten this name so that when her eyes scanned it, nothing registered?
To me, it's a stretch.
If you've had a relationship with someone, let alone had their baby, it's hard to imagine you'd ever forget their name, no matter how many decades have passed.
Chloe might not remember, but after each appointment, Jennifer writes a few lines for Chloe's records, what they talked about, how Chloe seemed.
