Love Unspoken

Walter dialed Alexander's number, the phone ringing persistently for a full minute. Just as it was on the brink of disconnecting automatically, the call was answered.

"What's up, Walter?" Alexander's voice came through the line, steady and unperturbed, as if the world was spinning at its usual pace.

A chuckle escaped Walter's lips as he responded, "Nothing much. Freya paid me a visit and shared some things. I felt the need to express my gratitude to you." "Oh? What for?" Alexander inquired.

"I wanted to thank you for helping me. I'm aware it's partly for Freya's sake, but after some contemplation, I thought it right to express my appreciation," Walter explained, his words carefully chosen, a subtle probe into Alexander's reactions. A pause ensued before Alexander queried, "What did she tell you?"

"Nothing of great significance. I'm aware you don't want to burden me further and must have instructed her to be discreet, but the poor girl let something slip."

"Is that so?" Alexander's laughter echoed Walter's earlier chuckle.

"Yeah, I'm just reaching out to genuinely thank you."

Alexander pondered for a moment before responding, "No thanks necessary. It's what I ought to do. If there's nothing else, focus on your work." "Understood."
