Jim yawned. “I’m alright, just feeling drained from assisting my friend with a couple of patients these past few days. I even nodded off while chatting with Joshua earlier. It’s kind of embarrassing. Looks like I’m aging and can’t keep pace like before.

“Isabelle, you’re at the perfect age for dating. I reckon Joshua is quite decent, good–looking, and with a pleasant personality.

“Why the worry? You’re in your prime. What could be better than a delightful romance with a charming guy? It’d bring you happiness and could also aid his condition. It’s a win–win situation.

“He mentioned to me that he owes his survival to you alone. Otherwise, he might have acted foolishly long ago.”

While Jim and Isabelle conversed, there came a sudden knock on the concealed door, followed by it swinging open, revealing Joshua’s figure.

Jim cast a glance in Joshua’s direction. Is there something you need, Joshua?”

Joshua responded, “I left my keys here.”

Jim glanced at the chair where Joshua had been seated and sure enough, saw a set of keys and a folded. paper airplane made from his sketch.

Joshua retrieved the key, unfolded the paper airplane, handed it back to Jim, and uttered an apology. “My bad.”

Jim smiled. “No problem.”

“Care to join me for a meal?” Jim inquired courteously.

“No, thanks.” Joshua took his keys and left.
