Even though he didn't say a word, his gesture spoke louder than anything, instantly soothing Nathalie's broken heart.

"Thanks. Sorry for making a fool of myself," she murmured, a bit embarrassed.

"Let's dig in," he said softly.

Nathalie picked up her fork, staring at the spread of delicious dishes, unsure where to begin. Suddenly, she chuckled at herself, "When I was a kid, we didn't have much.

The man's fork hovered in mid-air. "Your brother's lucky to have you."

Nathalie smiled, correcting him, "No, I'm the lucky one."

His expression turned serious. "You two are really close, aren't you?"

"Of course. We had each other's backs growing up. He's the most trustworthy person in the world," Nathalie replied with conviction.
