Waiting

He sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Nora?" He asked, wondering if she was going to say anything.

A Small Nod

She gave him a small nod, and he sat down. She was still running her fingers lightly over the pictures, reading and re-reading them. She couldn't believe he had done all this himself.

Admittance

A shy smile pushed its way onto his lips.
"I did not mean to be so rude and disbelieving. I am not very good with change... But I am trying. but I know now to not dismiss anything you say as a falsehood. to take it and weigh it for what it is worth. I should know that already. But I guess I still need to practice that." He put his hand on the chair across from her to pull it out and sit down, but looked to Nora for permission first.
