We were flying for several hours already when my earlier query back at home came rushing in my mind, which made me agitated in my seat. Raphael must have sensed it, because he was consistently gazing at me with puzzlement and confusion. I had been dying to ask him this question, since the time he told me that he would wholeheartedly help me. It had been caking inside of me, but I didn't wish to sound rude or ungrateful to him if I ever voiced it out.
"What? What's bothering you now, Maria? I have been studying your reaction and body movements and it seems there is something wrong with you that makes you agile and uneasy. What? Tell me."
"I don't mean to sound ungrateful nor rude, Raphael, but there is something that I wish to ask you. I wanted to ask this to you back in Nice, but I lost track of it and it just popped right back in my head now."
