The joy in Norbert's voice was so genuine, so vivid, it simply couldn't be faked. And despite the massive bomb that the woman just dropped on everyone, even she failed to stop herself from smiling a little when showered with this kind of emotional reception.

'Could the two of them be a thing?' he then asked himself, gritting his teeth as he realized what that could possibly mean.
