"Sure," Nathalie replied with a cheerful nod.
"Hey, Nathalie…" Nathan started but then hesitated.
"Nathan, do you need my help with something?" Nathalie knew him well. He was quick-witted, and his words usually flowed with ease. It was only when he was troubled that he stumbled over his words.
Nathan glanced out at the storm raging beyond the window, picturing Nathalie's delicate frame in his mind. Ultimately, he held back. "Nah, it's nothing. I just missed you and wanted to hear your voice."
They exchanged goodnights and hung up.
The director was puzzled. "Nathan, you didn't ask for help. Are you passing up this chance for assistance?"
Nathan took it in stride. "Yeah, her health isn't great. I can't bring myself to make her worry about me."
The director gave him a thumbs-up. "Wow, just from the way you two talk, it's obvious you have a really tight bond."
Nathan beamed a bright smile.
One of the nosier guests piped up, "Mr. Nathan, what's your friend’s name?" His expression was almost comical as if he were silently asking: How have I never heard about this friend before?
Nathan responded with a touch of pride, "My friend’s name is Nathalie. You see, our names are so similar. It's like we're meant to be connected."
"Your names are almost identical. You’re definitely sharing a bond."
