After she finished speaking Catherine turned towards Austin who sat beside her, his face seemingly agreeing with her story but no words of pity or understanding, came out of him, he just sat there listening to her story,
"Nothing to say?"
She asked to which Austin shook his head, making her feel more intrigued about his choice, with sparkling eyes she spoke,
"You know, you're not the first person I said this story to but you are definitely the first to have nothing to say"
Hearing her words Austin kept his silence a bit before which he replied,
"What is there to say? you are no weak woman, you are someone strong that overcame your problems, you don't need my recognition"
Reaching till here he turned to look at Catherine eye to eye as he continued,
"You don't need pity nor compelling words, for they are useless, hence I did the best I know, I listened to what you had to say, a friend willing to listen and if needed to help"
