It was 6 Am. in the morning and the cozy living room of Shaheera's and Jasra’s apartment was buzzing with activity. Suitcases were scattered around as she and Jasra prepared for the upcoming business trip to France. Jasra couldn't help but tease Shaheera for taking what seemed like her entire wardrobe for just a seven-day trip.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiBmQDuvSz
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b5DEqoMZq
"Seriously, Shaheera, do you plan on opening a boutique there?" Jasra joked, eyeing the mountain of clothes that Shaheera was trying to fit into her suitcase.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA4UfpN9tX
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn9VnsJCdr
Shaheera laughed, brushing off her friend's playful banter. "I just want to be prepared for any occasion. You never know what might come up during the conference."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJdgJRf8mb
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3cfM936z
Amidst the packing chaos, Shaheera couldn't resist asking Jasra about work. "By the way, who will be taking over for Hasan while he's away at the conference?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNh10pW2zA
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOV5AB6kgX
Jasra's face lit up with amusement. "Oh, it's going to be Yaasir. He's quite the character, and he's definitely funnier than Hasan. Mr. I-Know-everything is about as funny as a dead body."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnNsHshkt0
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL5bk2O09x
Shaheera chuckled, remembering their lighthearted encounter in the parking lot. It had been some time since she had heard from Hasan, and she wondered if he was doing well.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWM4ZdtsOO
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc0HtTGBAV
After what seemed like an eternity of packing, a car horn honked outside. It was Thomas, Rima, and Mark, who had come to pick her up for their trip to the airport. Shaheera quickly donned her beige hijab and joined her friends in the car, her suitcase finally zipped shut.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5B2gwkhfh
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLJoaf9A8b
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Hkc72xze
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVVZvIxSwx
The car ride to the airport was filled with laughter and singing, as they decided to have an impromptu karaoke session to lighten the mood. Shaheera felt grateful for the companionship of her friends, and the nervousness she had felt about the trip began to subside. At the airport, they smoothly navigated through the check-in and security process. However, at the security checkpoint, Shaheera encountered a small challenge. She was asked to remove her hijab for security purposes, which left her feeling a bit uneasy. Rima quickly stepped in, offering her jacket to cover Shaheera while she complied with the security procedures. Her friends' support made her feel more at ease, and she knew that she was not alone in these moments of discomfort.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2NqEOE3F5
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSEizlsWdl
Once on the plane, Shaheera found her seat near the aisle, and she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw someone familiar walking down the aisle. It was Hasan. They both smiled at the serendipitous encounter, and Shaheera introduced him to her friends and colleagues.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05i3nCc78H
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp04YBoE9P
“Hasan! What are you doing here?” She asked her smile as wild as the pleasure she felt to see him after so long. Hasan smile disappeared, seeing her friends behind her looking at him, wondering who he was. He coughed a little, making himself time to build his confidence back. And with his usual stoic face, he answered her.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHk8Ysk2MX
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqV36wXHOy
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXwE3hnIQ
Shaheera looked nervous. “You’re stupid,” she thought to herself. “Of course, he’s going to the conference, what did you think he would answer?”896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx9yPWxB3G
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ652fZqxWr
"Yes of course” she chuckled shyly. “Hmm, well, Hasan meet Thomas, Rima, and Mark. They are the wonderful people I get to work with," Shaheera said with a warm smile trying to hide her embarrassment.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHsn5Hxnxj
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YZ60Pl1Tx
"Nice to meet all of you," Hasan greeted them politely, his eyes lingering on Shaheera. "I didn't expect to see you on this flight."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx1nhEGkfP
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPkDwIxoeM
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6TH8zEdBR
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayL9vpLffE
As Hasan took the seat next to the aisle, Shaheera felt a sense of comfort knowing she wouldn't be alone during the long journey. Shaheera was sitting by the aisle, on the right side of the plane. To his left was Rima, deep in conversation with Thomas. Hasan sat next to Shaheera, on the other side of the aisle, on the right side of the plane. Mark to his right. Shaheera smiled at him and then joined Thomas and Rima’s conversation waiting for teh plane to take off. However, she heard her right deep breath. She looked at Hasan and saw him eyes closed.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRosa6EcuF
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75OwPiZm48
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWYLkKUOVg
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNOXiIxIx5
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1mAclRgn9
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQDDZREhco
“I’ve taking planes since I was a baby.” she laughed. Hasan didn’t answer anything and just kept his eyes closed. “Come on, Hasan, it's just a short flight to France near Switzerland. We'll be there before you know it."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gyIy8Bp11
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwDJBaAqep
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMStx6ga1k
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zMfUBEjWj
Shaheera knew that Hasan was trying to put on a brave front, but she also knew that his fear was genuine. She decided to engage him in conversation to take his mind off the flight. "Need anything?” she finally asked softly. Hasan looked at her, astonished to hear her usual joyful voice, calm and almost tender. Her eyes were full of concern and her mouth forming a grin. he closed his eyes rapidly.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebUaGfz4Fp
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj2BUPocW5
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxLIduEZ3g
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv9cKzb2Gp
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLc5aoLZre
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ0qWjV5ET
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBwljrGlPX
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8yVFGLKSB
"That's great! France is beautiful, and I'm sure you'll love it," Shaheera said warmly. "We have some exciting plans lined up for the conference and a bit of sightseeing, too."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk0NIN0VE4
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7B8iMe7Um
Hasan nodded, trying to focus on the positive aspects of the trip. "Yes, I've heard that the conference is going to be quite interesting. I'm looking forward to it."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeCWfbzvHm
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfITJN84GwN
As the flight progressed, Shaheera kept the conversation light and engaging, talking about their travel experiences and sharing funny anecdotes from previous trips. She cracked jokes and teased Hasan playfully, trying to make him laugh.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsaYODwKwt
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTn0fr68fF
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU3Ba8Rg8D
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4gAXbODEv
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7vI5hVzam
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rL12O55E0
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3DzzBE29n
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW5p8w6wUA
As the flight continued, Shaheera and Hasan chatted about their favorite foods, music, and hobbies, discovering shared interests and laughing at each other's quirks.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4iZ96k7cf
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWnVtFNXze
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgu3i5oeIy
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabZRuPH7uA
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb682Hehn9
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFUO3JU8IJ
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UAiUmbra
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfoFwzLG3e
With Shaheera's humor and support, the flight that once seemed daunting became more bearable for Hasan. He found himself enjoying their conversation, forgetting about his fear, if only for a little while.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HXwxOkQAR
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xGXpprzd1
Time seemed to fly by as they exchanged stories and laughter, the hours on the plane passing by in a blur of meaningful conversations. Shaheera felt a newfound connection with Hasan, and the chemistry between them was undeniable.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMQsiV6zVQ
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqljRsvYdh
As they flew towards the border of Switzerland, the sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange. The beauty of the moment was not lost on Shaheera, and she couldn't help but share the view with Hasan.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskshOVvfFh
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Itjxo9QZ5
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsW18LfOP2
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ7X8nfXYY
Hasan followed her gaze and admired the scenery. "It's stunning," he replied softly looking back at her, not sure if the compliment was for the vue or her.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ykGR8PJod
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ltB7EtmV
Shaheera blushed, feeling her heart skip a beat at his words. The playful teasing and professional facade seemed to have dissolved, leaving behind a tender connection that was impossible to ignore.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1crcT0UJav
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lj486PJFF
The plane's tires gently touched the tarmac as it landed at the airport in France, near the Switzerland border. Shaheera, Thomas, Rima, Mark, and Hasan disembarked, the excitement of the trip still lingering in the air. Amidst the joyful chatter of her friends and colleagues, Hasan remained quiet, his mind preoccupied with thoughts he dared not express.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ787W7W78xN
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbH4DfAskJ
As they made their way through the airport, Mark detached himself from the group and approached Hasan with a friendly smile. For a moment, Hasan wondered if Mark was the one Shaheera was promised to marry, his heart clenching at the thought. However, he pushed those thoughts aside, keeping his emotions hidden behind a stoic facade.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Kb761Vz2
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwbfsGlaiQ
The group gathered outside the airport, and a friendly taxi driver approached them, speaking rapidly in French. Hasan looked at him with a blank expression, not understanding a word. Shaheera came to the rescue, fluently conversing with the driver and providing the destination details of their hotel.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkgMSd1CVg
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hPcZ4f5Qx
They split into two cars due to space constraints, and Hasan found himself in one with Thomas and Mark. Thomas expressed his delight at having Shaheera on the team, while Mark playfully teased that Thomas was lucky. Hasan listened in silence, the doubts he harbored growing stronger with each passing word.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G3AlRiQKb
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz5VCYztbx
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4KyAr8oKi
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQXZiiDdto
“Oh no!” Mark finally said, laughing shyly, scratching the back of his head. “We’re just good friends, she supported me when I decided to convert. Nothing going on between us.”896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKpge07F6
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbKMkU4QmT
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3gAsv4WbC
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bEG3FohpG
Their voices faded into the background as Hasan's thoughts consumed him. He couldn't help but wonder about the unspoken feelings between him and Shaheera. Still, he chose to remain silent, convinced that it was best to keep his emotions concealed.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwARZAYqsx
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IkibBkhwi
The journey to their hotel was long and Hasan stayed reserved, his attention shifting between the interactions around him and the views outside the window. The Alps loomed in the distance, their majestic peaks seemingly mirroring the uncertainty he felt within.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZWzUw3h8a
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp0wJHzOCl
Arriving at the hotel, Hasan noticed Shaheera and Rima chatting animatedly as they entered the lobby. He admired Shaheera's energy and charm from afar, captivated by her presence.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpcabNgwjO
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnbJAojP0d
As the hours passed, the group settled into their rooms, each preparing for a much-needed rest after the long journey. He couldn't deny the connection they shared, but fear held him back from expressing his feelings. And in this moment his mother was searching for him to marry. Someone he would share his life with.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIfoj1WpMT

The conference preparation was in full swing, and Shaheera found herself working late into the night to ensure everything was ready for the big day. As the only one fluent in French, she took charge of handling all the intricate details of the event, making sure nothing was overlooked. After the long trip they had, all she wanted was to go to sleep and take a bath if she could.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN7FFr1eD2
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqamOH8Ste
The hotel receptionist seemed to be inattentive, and Shaheera was growing frustrated. She had reserved a specific room for the conference, and when she arrived to check on its setup, she found it messy and unclean.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLbwHm3UQh
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFKUEJTKLx
"Excuse me," Shaheera said, trying to keep her composure, "but this room was supposed to be cleaned and ready for the conference. We have just two days left!"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PpNdNtsBK
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS23Vmu8SEA
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIBCalGvjx
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe25ouHmGj
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEbAgybLj6
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPRBmD4DBM
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe2DFxtuLk
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM57sNS2PPx
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb4PT8yX9P
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDA6pmZyOP
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7SzC4zT1O
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQiMak5yBd
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxpZTzr7Ua
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg3ZJONaT6
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZfzYz8vX9
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5xoNhYzSP
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLbhUwn1vV
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDXDD1BHX0
Mark bid her goodnight and left, still unaware of Hasan's presence nearby. As soon as Mark disappeared, Hasan stepped forward, deciding it was his moment to intervene.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGKjcqtjy1
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItMSSCuOP9
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKqZKrVOxW
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTJh9hm1FR
Shaheera turned, surprised to see Hasan standing there. A smile lit up her face, "Hasan! It's good to see you. You know, you have a knack for showing up at just the right time."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7KBOoMT3
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaphuBUQRi
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVsXPECxIE
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aW8E8S0Zx
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKyyZPHRin
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvAD6wue22
They shared a laugh, and Hasan felt a sense of warmth in Shaheera's presence. The receptionist came back and explained to Shaheera the procedure and what the hotel could do for the room to be prepared in time. Hasan felt stupid. He had offered his help but with no French he was useless. he just states beside her, arms crosses, looking indifferent like he was always looking. the problem handled, they moved away from the reception desk, standing near a window overlooking the night-lit city.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAMlI7W947
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ0pwAY4uk
"You know," Shaheera began, her tone softer now, "I left France to come to Canada for a fresh start. It was a big decision, leaving everything behind, but I needed a change. It’s weird to come back."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8h0wIMv5P
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7zrkmev2s

"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AKhdHOELN
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoWCoqrbcw
"I had always dreamt of experiencing life in a different country, and Canada seemed like the perfect place. It's diverse, welcoming, and has so much to offer," Shaheera explained thoughtfully. “And I love snow” she finished.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzUAErq7rO
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YW2NEk0lf
Hasan admired Shaheera's resilience and courage. He could see the determination in her eyes as she talked about her journey. However, when it came to sharing his own life story, he hesitated.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61q05Vi4gF
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nGoJ7TCXN
"You've adapted so well. It's admirable. And you know, I've never really went to Pakistan. I sometimes regret this decision" Hasan revealed with a hint of vulnerability.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KCm3tm8qd
896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGZwMBrbSK

896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhhxNmN3iH
"Maybe I will, someday," Hasan replied, a faint smile playing on his lips, but he didn’t say more. They fell into a comfortable silence, both lost in their thoughts and the night's tranquility.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsvFnetG2Q

“I’m sure I’ll reciprocate. No plan for a wedding?” She finally asked. Hasan eyes stopped their contemplation of the sky and went to her. This would have been the perfect moment to confess. But from what he heard from Jasra, she was engaged. And even though they knew each other for such a short time, all he wanted was to see her smile. either it was with him or not. He coughed a little, his eyes drifting back to the sky above.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50YKcxMPxm

“Arranged marriage. My mother is looking for someone who could share my life,” he said in a low voice, almost like a whisper. To make it sound like a lie or a dream that was never real. because the person he wanted to learn about and marry was right beside him. “You? Any plan?” he asked innocently.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN5lOP9EmO

Hasan thought he was falling for a second. She was not engaged? What did that witch of Jasra say? The weight of uncertainty that had been pressing on him since their encounter in the parking lot suddenly lifted, and a glimmer of hope sparked within him. He couldn't deny the rush of relief and excitement that washed over him, knowing that she was still available. But he kept his emotions carefully concealed, unsure of what the future held for them.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AXbxlNBMQ

Hasan couldn't help but feel a growing fondness for Shaheera, appreciating her honesty and kindness. But he knew that their connection went beyond mere friendship, and he felt the pull of emotions that he was not yet ready to confront.
