Nora muttered a response. Once again, an awkward silence ensued.

 

I supposed the shy Nora needed some time alone, so I stood up and excused myself, “Um… I’ll go upstairs and go through the documents.”

In the room, I read the documents for a while, absent-minded. I couldn’t seem to focus with my mind constantly wandering off.
