�Being his brother, I do know something about him.� Nick�s fingers danced excitedly in multiple directions, controlling several different game blocks at the same time.�What is that?�
�He is quite fond of you.�
Menora was not one to be caught off guard often. Part of it was the wall that she put up as a result of her family tragedy. Another part of it was that she had trained her mind and body to be ready for anything for so many years. Nick�s short answer penetrated both of those barriers.
�And I think that I�ve known you long enough to know something about you too.� Nick continued. He did not have to turn his attention from the game to Menora to know that she was blushing.
�Really? You think you know me well enough?� Menora did not know what to say. She knew what Nick was alluding to, but was not sure that she wanted to hear it.
�Oh, I think that I do.� Nick left it at that. He indeed knew Menora pretty well. Well enough to know that that was the proper response. There was no need to state the obvious. But up until he made his statement, he knew that it was not obvious to her. She could think about whether or not Nick was right all night long. And if she did spend that kind of time on it, it would be glaringly obvious that he was right. But it did not need to be vocalized at this time.
