Akira looked at the silent and pale face of Dr. Nelson and immediately realized her folly.
"I am sorry. I overstepped."
Dr. Nelson took a deep breath and said,
"It's ok Akira."
"You are missing her terribly. Aren't you?"
She asked, looking into those distant eyes.
Dr. Nelson smiled and finally dared to look into her eyes and asked,
"Have I become that predictable for you?"
"It's not about being predictable Jaby. Your eyes speak the tale of your heart. And somehow, even though you are present here, dancing with me, I can sense that your mind is somewhere else. You are dancing with just your body. But your mind is busy imagining someone else."
Dr. Nelson hung his head low and then said,
"I am sorry for ruining this dance for you."
"Oh, come on Jaby. Give yourself some credit. At least my gut doesn't want to scream and belch right now."
"Now I am really not sure if that was a compliment or an insult."
