Rui waited as he watched Cali's changing expressions closely. When he noticed she was delving deeper into it he instructed, "Don't think too much and just relax. Breathe in and breathe out."
Cali followed his instructions as she relaxed herself and stopped her mind from thinking too much about things. She did not want to experience another bout of headache, so she did not ponder on how or where or from whom she heard that word before.
Once she calmed down, she realized what Rui called her a few minutes back. Cali put her both hands on her waist and turned to Rui asking, "Why are you calling me sweetheart, anyway?" It was the second time he called her so, and the word was an endearment usually used by couples when they were in a relationship, so why call her like that.
"Because.. you have a very sweet heart?" Rui mumbled hesitantly.
"Are you trying to be funny right now, Doc?"
