Kian noticed the sadness spread across René's face. He knew it had a connection with Victor's trip to Sweden, yet he wished to hear it from her.
"You look sad, what is it about?" he said
"Are you sending Victor to Sweden?" she asked
"Yes, what about it?"
"I want to go with him," she said emphatically.
Kian was not surprised, he had expected such a response from her, given the way things had panned out until now.
"Why?"
"No reason. I just want to be with him."
"You know he is going to train and research. He will hardly have time for you. You will have nothing to do there, won't you feel resentment towards him?"
She did not reply and Kian continued. "You will demand more of his time and attention, which he will obviously not have because he is going on a tight schedule."
